Madison Keys opened her quarterfinal clash at the 2025 Mutua Madrid Open with a bang—serving Iga Swiatek her first bagel in nearly four years. But instead of derailing the defending champion, the stunning 0-6 first set only served to ignite her comeback fire.
Swiatek regrouped, reset, and roared back with a 0-6 6-3 6-2 victory, avenging one of her most painful losses of the year and extending her unbeaten streak in Madrid to 10 matches.
A bagel with a side of motivation
Before today, the last time Swiatek was bageled was in June 2021, on the grass courts of Eastbourne by Daria Kasatkina.
