World No.1 Iga Swiatek has secured her spot in the Mutua Madrid Open final for the second year in a row, defeating No.18 seed Madison Keys in the semifinals with a convincing 6-1 6-3 victory. Swiatek’s performance was dominant, needing only 70 minutes to reach her third final of the year and move closer to her third WTA 1000 title of 2024.
“It was a pretty clean performance and really solid game from myself,” Swiatek commented after the match. “I’m happy with everything.”
Swiatek, who finished as the runner-up to Aryna Sabalenka in Madrid last year, is now set to face either Sabalenka or No.
