Aryna Sabalenka made it into the final of the Madrid Open as she swatted aside Maria Sakkari 6-4 6-1. Sabalenka turned in a comprehensive, powerful display that Sakkari ultimately had few answers to, and the world No. 2 will now await the winner of Iga Swiatek or Veronika Kudermetova in Saturday's final.
Iga Swiatek crushed Petra Martic 6-0 6-3 to make the last four at the Madrid Open, where she will face Veronika Kudermetova. It was another vintage display from the world No. 1, who gave Martic no room to breathe in the first set — earning her seventh bagel of the year — before wrapping up the victory in the second set.
The world No 2, Carlos Alcaraz, produced a second-set fightback to defeat Karen Khachanov and secure his place in the semi-finals of the Madrid Open. Alcaraz, the defending champion, is bidding for successive ATP Tour titles after winning in Barcelona last week.
Jessica Pegula was knocked out of the Madrid Open as Veronika Kudermetova reached the semi-finals despite battling an injury during the match. The 12th seed took the first set before having a medical timeout after being bagelled by Pegula in the second set, but fought back in fine style to seal a last-four match against either world No. 1 Iga Swiatek or Petra Martic.
Russia's Veronika Kudermetova said she will remove the logo of sanctioned Russian sponsor Tatneft from her kit so she can compete at Wimbledon this year.
MADRID: World number two Aryna Sabalenka made light work of 16-year-old Mirra Andreeva on Monday (May 1) with a 6-3, 6-1 win to reach the Madrid Open quarter-finals.
