Tough revenge! Swiatek Madrid advanced to the third round

Former Women's Singles world No.1 Swiatek is the second seed in Madrid and has a first-round bye against Filipino teenager Ella, who has just beaten her in Miami.

Compared to the last time the two met Ella, who won 6-2 7-5, this time on clay, where Swiatek is more adept, Ella was still very impressive, and soon won the first set with a score of 6-4.

Fortunately, Swiatek adjusted her form in time and won two sets in a row with a score of 6-4 6-2 to finally advance to the third round with an aggregate score of 2-1.

Throughout the match, Swiatek's unforced errors were not well controlled, reaching as many as 25 in the first set alone, but Swiatek was very happy to be back in Madrid.

'I'm very proud of the last two seasons and it's great to be back and have this experience, as you can see, it's different here compared to last year, I think it's about 10 degrees hotter, so I think it's going to be a little bit different.

"But I'm still very happy to be here and I'm very happy to enjoy my time in Madrid."

According to the tournament draw, Swiatek's next opponent is No.31 seed Noskova, who had just beaten qualifier Carlis in straight sets in the second round.

In the other highlights, Sevastova, who beat Russia's Pavlyuchenkova in the first round, continued her momentum and eliminated Ostapenko in Stuttgart 7-6 6-2 in the second round.

Becoming a mother in 2022 and returning to tennis in 2024 with a serious knee injury, the 35-year-old Sevastova chose to return to the court again this season.

Despite not yet being ranked in the world, the Latvian who has reached the highest world ranking of 11th is still impressive, and with Ostapenko out, Swiatek's title defense has been a little easier.

In China, Wang Xinyu lost 4-6 6-7 to Greece's Sakkari in the first round and failed to win on clay in her debut this season, picking up 10 points and €20,820 in prize money, and is currently ranked 43rd in the instant rankings.

Wang Xinyu will next partner Zheng Saisai in the Women's Doubles event in Madrid, where the pair will face Maya/Sigmund according to the Women's Doubles draw.

Zheng Qinwen, who came to Madrid early to prepare for the game, has not yet played his first match, according to the schedule, Zheng Qinwen will face Russian player Potapova at 9 pm Beijing time today, looking forward to Zheng Qinwen can win this game!(Source: Tennis House Author: Barbie)
