Three weeks from Roland-Garros, the world number one marks the spirits. On the Spanish clay, Aryna Sabalenka won the Madrid WTA 1000 tournament on Saturday, May 3, his third coronation on the height-beaten earth in career, beating in the Coco Gauff final in two sets 6-3, 7-6 (7/3).
The 26-year-old Belarusian with three coronations in Grand Chelem confirmed her great shape three weeks from Roland-Garros, where she never did better than a semi-final (in 2023). Already crowned in Miami this season, finalist at the Australian Open and Indian Wells, Aryna Sabalenka widens even more with his competitors in the world ranking and will have more than 4,000 points ahead of the Polish IGA SwiTek on Monday.
Aryna Sabalenka thus puts pressure on the first pursuing, triple title holder at Roland-Garros and unrecognizable in Madrid, where she was swept away in half by Coco Gauff 6-1, 6-1. In the final, as usual, Aryna Sabalenka knocked out his opponent with the power of his blows, being much more conquering at the court Manolo-Santana.
She left only crumbs to Coco Gauff in the first set, like the double break and the four white games which allowed her to lead 4 to 1. The American was raised in the second round, until she offers a set at 5-4. It was ultimately the world number one that took the game, before winning in Tie-Break thanks to an eighth double fault of Coco Gauff.
