Iga Swiatek maintained her dominance over Madison Keys at the 2024 Madrid Open, continuing her impressive performance from previous matches.
Swiatek’s exceptional play throughout the tournament has earned her a spot in the final of the WTA 1000 event in Madrid. After reaching the final last year without lifting the trophy, she appears determined to claim victory this time.
Swiatek’s semifinal performance showcased her strength, positioning her just one win away from the title. Her matchup with Keys has historically favored her, given Keys’ solid but ultimately predictable style of play.
The match quickly turned in Swiatek’s favor as she dominated the first set 6-1, setting the tone for the rest of the match. Swiatek’s prowess at the baseline overwhelmed Keys, who struggled to keep up with her opponent’s level of play.
Despite Keys showing some improvement in the second set, Swiatek’s early lead proved insurmountable. With a final score of 6-1, 6-3, Swiatek secured her place in the final once again.
If Aryna Sabalenka defeats Elena Rybakina in the other semifinal, fans can anticipate a repeat of last year’s final between Swiatek and Sabalenka.
