The stunner between Iga Swiatek and Aryna Sabalenka finally came to an end. In the Madrid Open final, which lasted for 3 sets, it was Iga Swiatek who came out on top and clinched the title with her never-say-never attitude. The match, which had all the ups and downs from both had finally come to a close. While the Polish clinched the first set, Sabalenka rose to the occasion and bounced back quickly.
It then all came down to the third and the decider set. Both the players were equally good and refused to give up. However, after a 3-hour long hustle, the world number 1 had the final laugh as she won the title. The title win meant everything to her. So much so, that as soon as she clinched the match winner, she lay down on the ground and let her real emotions come out.
This win was also very special for her because this marked her revenge on Aryna Sabalenka. These two players recreated the 2023 Madrid Open final. However, this time, the result was different. Last year, the Belarusian beauty took center stage and laid her hands on the title. This year, it was Swiatek.
Thus, Iga Swiatek cried her heart out after she not only completed a major milestone but she also made sure that she completed her revenge on her opponent. However, the match was a pure joy to watch. So much so, that she even came in the post-match conference to make a stark comment on women’s tennis.
