Aryna Sabalenka completes achievement only Iga Swiatek and Madison Keys have managed after win at the Madrid Open

Aryna Sabalenka’s recent victory at the Madrid Open has placed her in an elite group, joining only Iga Świątek and Madison Keys in achieving a remarkable milestone. By clinching her second Madrid Open title, Sabalenka became the third active WTA player to secure multiple titles at this prestigious tournament, a feat previously accomplished only by Świątek and Keys.

Sabalenka’s triumph in Madrid was particularly significant, as she defeated world number one Iga Świątek on clay for the first time, winning the final 6–3, 3–6, 6–3. This victory not only marked her 13th WTA title but also underscored her prowess on clay courts, having previously won the Madrid Open in 2021.

Her achievement aligns her with Madison Keys, who recently recorded her 100th victory in WTA 1000 tournaments, joining the ranks of Serena and Venus Williams. Similarly, Iga Świątek’s consistent performances have solidified her status as one of the top players on the tour. Sabalenka’s inclusion in this distinguished group highlights her consistency and excellence at the highest levels of women’s tennis.

This accomplishment not only adds to Sabalenka’s impressive resume but also sets the stage for exciting rivalries and competitions in the upcoming tournaments.
