Iga Swiatek Secures Maiden Madrid Title in Epic Showdown Against Aryna Sabalenka

Posted : 05 May 2024

In a fiercely contested showdown lasting three hours and eleven minutes, Iga Swiatek emerged triumphant over Aryna Sabalenka in the Madrid final, avenging her defeat from the previous year. The victory marked Swiatek's inaugural title in the Spanish capital, achieved after a grueling battle that saw her come back from a 1-3 deficit in the decisive set and save three match points.

 

With a final score of 7-5, 4-6, 7-6 (9/7), Swiatek secured her place in history, having now won both WTA 1000 and 500 tournaments on European clay, in addition to her three French Open titles at Roland Garros.

 

Swiatek's resilience was on full display as she notched her eighth consecutive finals win, joining Elena Rybakina with an impressive tally of 30 victories for the season. The final match unfolded amidst warmer temperatures and breezier conditions at the Caja Magica, with both players exchanging breaks early on. Swiatek's precision and determination proved pivotal as she seized the opening set after a tightly contested 61 minutes, breaking Sabalenka at a critical moment.

 

Despite Sabalenka's fierce comeback in the second set, which saw her force a decider with a remarkable display of power and skill, Swiatek remained undeterred. Trading blows in a seesaw battle, Sabalenka briefly gained the upper hand by breaking for a 3-1 lead in the final set.

 

However, Swiatek's resolve shone through as she saved two match points on her own serve, ultimately forcing the match into a nerve-wracking tiebreak. In a dramatic conclusion, Swiatek clinched victory as Sabalenka's backhand found the net, cementing her status as a dominant force in women's tennis.
