How good is this rivalry?! In the second straight No.1 vs. No.2 final on the Hologic WTA Tour, Aryna Sabalenka defeats Swiatek for the first time on clay and wins her second Mutua Madrid Open title 🏆

[@axelltullup2638]

If it can be compared to chess, these two players are like the king and the queen and the rest of the stake are just pawns ... Of course, on the grass Iga will be replaced by Rybakina as the queen / king, but Aryna will be there all the time as the most important figure ...

[@user-tb1od3ek3d]

A very interesting game came from Arina. She won thanks to several aspects that were not typical for her in other matches on clay against Iga: firstly, Arina was very good on the defensive, dragging difficult balls, every time she thought that the ball was about to hit the net, but Arina managed to catch up to them and sent it to the opposite side, which of course Iga did not expect and made mistakes in long draws. Secondly, Iga, as always, began to read Arina's serve very well in the 2nd and 3rd sets (there were a lot of tricks right through from Iga), but in the 3rd set Arina adapted to this and after another classy reception by Iga, she managed to ball, sat down very well on it from the backhand and counterattacked the polka with even greater speed than Iga. Swiatek could not expect this from Arina either, in the end she was also mistaken from hopelessness. These two factors, as for me, influenced the victory of Arina.

Undoubtedly one of the most formidable final encounters which was contended between Iga Swiatek and Aryna Sabalenka in WTA during this season. Almost each point was scintillating. Each rally was played in the high level. It was very hard to keep the entire showdown under the composure. One side was going to become the winner one in the end. I would like to congratulate Sabalenka for this tremendous title, annihilating world no.1 competitor on the clay court surface first time. In fact, Iga was really close to attain her first championship in Mutua Madrid Open Tournament. It missed with the minor margins but someday Iga Swiatek will clinch a colossal championship in Mutua Madrid Open Tennis Tournament

Aryna the amazon of WTA, played so well this time. Need more rivalry like this again WTA. These 2 are the best 2 players in WTA rught now.

[@panmaew]

Iga lookes vulnerable from the start defending herself from nothing new but the usual sheer power of Sabalenka's groundstrokes. Granted, Sabalenka has not been known as one of the most consistent players on the tour and that power has sometimes wrecked havoc on her own game. There was a little bit of that in the second set but once she regrouped and could use her power with less errors she again simply overpowered her opponent.
