The Belarusian dominated the American in two sets, this Saturday in the final, on Spanish clay.
In boss. The world N.1 Aryna Sabalenka won the Madrid WTA 1000 on Saturday, its third coronation on Spanish clay, beating in the Coco Gauff final in two sets 6-3, 7-6 (7/3). The 26-year-old Belarusian with the three coronations in Grand Slam confirmed her great form at three weeks of Roland-Garros where she never imposed herself.
Already crowned in Miami this season, finalist at the Australian Open and Indian Wells, Sabalenka widens the gap with his competitors in the WTA ranking and will have more than 4,000 points ahead of the Polish Iga Swiatek on Monday. Sabalenka puts pressure on Swiatek, triple title holder at Roland-Garros and unrecognizable in Madrid, where she was swept away in half by Gauff 6-1, 6-1.
As usual, Sabalenka knocked out his opponent with the power of his blows, being much more conquering from the start on the court Manolo Santana. She only left Coco Gauff crumbs in the first set, like Double-Break and the four white games that allowed her to lead 4 to 1.
The American is gaining momentum in the second round, until she has a set at 5-4. It was ultimately the world N.1 that took the game, before winning in Tie-Break thanks to the 8th double-faut de Gauff.
