Aryna Sabalenka achieved this Saturday the victory in the final of the Mutua Madrid Open against Coco Gauff in two sets (6-3, 7-6 (7-3)). Thus, the Belarusian tennis player took the Madrid tournament for the third time after having won the 2021 and 2023 editions, thus consolidating her position at the top of the world tennis, increasing her advantage in the first place in the WTA ranking.
Sabalenka raised his third 2025 title, after Brisbane and Miami, demonstrating that has the best tennis and the best head of the circuit. He demonstrated it to Gauff, who got out of the WTA finals last year and also removed the final of the US Open 2023, to teach his ability to resist adversity and get the thorn to lose Stuttgart’s final before traveling to Spain.
The Belarusa had it easy in the first set, with a 4-1 Start where nothing came to Gauff. The American did not enter as he played in a Manolo Santana well known by her rival, champion in 2021 and 2023, and took the initial 6-3. The improvement of the American came in the second set and soon found the break.
However, The serve began to abandon Gauffwhile Sabalenka stalked to recover the advantage. Number one broke when his rival took to force the third set, with a ball even to achieve it and in the fifth ball of break of his rival. In the up and down that was the final, the first head of series endured better. None was fought from the nerves, the bellruse fell the racket in the middle of a point, he achieved that 5-5 and then did not take advantage of a match ball before the tie-break.
There, again the slide of emotions, with more and better sabalenka and Gauff yielding the fight with a double foul. In his fourth final in the last five years in the Magic Fund, the number one extended his idyll with the Santana hand and reinforced his throne in the ranking, with 20 WTA titles and a roar that intimidates the rest.
