The quarterfinals of the 2021 Mutua Madrid Open will see top seed Ashleigh Barty take on three-time champion Petra Kvitova on Wednesday.
Barty extended her winning streak on red clay to 14 with a straight-sets victory over fellow Roland Garros champion Iga Swiatek in the last round. The Aussie hasn't lost a match on the surface in nearly two years, and will be feeling confident about her prospects.
Kvitova has had her fair share of success on the red dirt in recent times as well. The Czech made it to the semifinals of Roland Garros last year, and has a quarterfinal run at Stuttgart to show for in 2021.
Kvitova also remains the most successful player in Madrid, and will be making her sixth quarterfinal appearance here. A clean striker of the ball, the 31-year-old enjoys playing in high altitude conditions, and this year has been no exception.
