The matchup highlights a teen's rapid rise versus a first-time WTA 1000 finalist.

Overview

  • Mirra Andreeva reached the Madrid Open title match by beating Hailey Baptiste 6-4, 7-6 (10-8), and Marta Kostyuk advanced by defeating Anastasia Potapova 6-2, 1-6, 6-1.
  • Andreeva turned a 4-0 hole in the second-set tiebreak into a win, saved set points, and won 81% of her first-serve points to close in straight sets.
  • Baptiste’s breakthrough run featured an upset of world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka and multiple saved match points before she fell to Andreeva.
  • Kostyuk earned her first WTA 1000 final and remains unbeaten on clay this season after winning the Open Rouen Metropole earlier this month.
