Aryna Sabalenka has once again proven she’s the queen of the Madrid clay, and this time, she did it in ruthless fashion. The Belarusian powerhouse clinched her third Madrid Open title by steamrolling over Coco Gauff in a final that was less tennis match and more demolition job.
From the first serve, Sabalenka was all business—blasting aces, dominating rallies, and giving Gauff barely a moment to breathe. The scoreline? Brutal. The performance? Clinical. Sabalenka looked like she’d booked a dinner reservation and didn’t want to be late. Every forehand was a missile, every backhand a warning shot. Poor Gauff, for all her hustle and heart, just couldn’t weather the storm.
This win not only marks a Madrid three-peat for Sabalenka but also sends a message to the rest of the WTA: she’s not just here to play, she’s here to conquer. With Roland-Garros looming, Aryna’s red-hot form has fans wondering—can anyone stop her?
As for Gauff, this was a tough day at the office, but the 20-year-old still walks away with valuable experience and a reminder that at the top, margins are razor-thin. Her time will come, but today was all about Sabalenka and her reign in the Spanish capital.
Madrid is now officially Aryna’s clay playground—and unless someone finds the off switch, she might just build a palace there. Crowns don’t come easy, but Sabalenka wears this one with pure dominance.
