Wozniacki has a winning record against Goerges however the world number one was not able to handle the German in their most recent match.
Caroline Wozniacki and Julia Goerges are scheduled to meet on Thursday in what looks to be an exciting match from the Premier Mandatory event in Madrid.
Wozniacki, as the world number one, enters their match as a clear favorite (
4/11; bet365) however what cannot be ignored is that Goerges (
12/5; bet365) defeated the Dane the last time they met, their only clay court match to date.
They have met in two other matches and Wozniacki won both of those, however both were played on the hard court surface in 2010. Their clay court match was played in April with Goerges taking down the Stuttgart championship final 7-6, 6-3.
There is a little bit of pressure on Wozniacki heading into this match as Goerges, despite improved play recently, is still a player ranked outside of the top 25. If Wozniacki loses to her for the second time in as many tournaments, some eyebrows might be raised.
Order of Play: Manolo Santana start 11:45am (all times CET)
