În toate partidele din optimile de finală ale WTA Premier Mandatory “Mutua Madrid Open”, favoritele s-au impus, astfel că sferturile de finală, care se vor disputa astăzi, sunt foarte tari, cu:
5 capi de serie din primii 8: Osaka [1], Kvitova [2], Halep [3], Bertens [7], Stephens [8]
1 cap de serie din intervalul 9-16: Barty [9]
2 jucătoare necotate: Martic şi Bencic
De remarcat că:
sunt prezente campioanele ultimelor 4 ediţii: Petra Kvitova – 2015 şi 2018 – şi Simona Halep – 2016, 2017 – Petra câştigând titlul şi în 2011
jucătoarele necotate vin după rezultate foarte bune în acest sezon: Belinda Bencica câştigat titlul la Premier 5 Dubai şi a jucat semifinale la Premier Mandatory Indian Wells şi Petra Martic pe cel de la International Istanbul, acum două săptămâni, deci se află în cursul unei serii de 7 victorii consecutive (cea prin walkover nu se numără)
croata a beneficiat de abandonul compatrioatei ei, Donnei Vekic – accidentată la şoldul drept – după ce în turul precedent avansase graţie retragerii din turneu a favoritei 4, Angelique Kerber
