Swiatek saves 3 match points to beat Sabalenka in Madrid Open final

Associated Press  

MADRID — Iga Swiatek avenged her loss in last year’s final to Aryna Sabalenka and won the Madrid Open on Saturday after a third-set tiebreaker. Swiatek collapsed on the red clay after Sabalenka hit long to end a match that lasted 3 hours, 11 minutes, the longest WTA final so far in 2024. “Congrats as well to Aryna because we both had an amazing effort today.” Swiatek will seek her fourth French Open title later this month as the two-time defending champion at Roland Garros. Sabalenka got the better of Swiatek last year at Madrid in three sets for the first win over her rival on clay.
