Could’ve been my Met Gala look, but i wasn’t invited…

Madrid 1000 into semi-finals:

 

Iga Świątek (1) vs Veronika Kudermetova (12)

Aryna Sabalenka (2) vs Maria Sakkari (9)

 

Looks like another Świątek vs Sabalenka final so the women's tour might finally have a proper rivlary not seen too often in the last decade

[Monzanator 4,478]

Half-way until another Świątek vs Sabalenka showdown as Sabalenka beat Maria Sakkari 6-4 6-1 in the first semi-final.

[Monzanator 4,478]

Kudermetova won a grand total of two games so another Świątek vs Sabalenka final

[Monzanator 4,478]

Aryna Sabalenka wins Madrid 1000 in three sets 6-3 3-6 6-3 over Iga Świątek.

[NMQ 243]

This was Sabalenkas best chance to beat Iga on clay IMO. The conditions suit her game better. Rome and Paris will be a differerent story. The battle for #1 will be interesting if Iga fails, though.

[Monzanator 4,478]

And Sabalenka fails to win a match in Rome losing to Sofia Kenin in straight sets in Round 2

[Makedonas 2,133]

^And on the same day Pegula lost to Townsend. What a shame that Sakkari's draw has Rybakina in R16 and Swiatek in QF. Would have been nice if she could've been in the bottom half of the draw and had a good shot at making the final...

Emma Raducanu's season could be over as she is undergoing surgery on both her wrists.

 

F she's sensible, she wont try to rush back for the hard court season and instead, take as much time off as possible to build up her strength and stamina then when she comes back in the new year, step down to the ITF WTA 100K level events to get the match experience. 

 

Would assume that she would be well placed to get invitational quota for Paris as Grand Slam champion

Well there are also others like Muguruza, Kerber, Osaka, Halep...

That was too easy , Sabalenka lost to Kenin for we won't see another Clay derby 

[Monzanator 4,478]

Meanwhile Iga Świątek wasted little time and beat Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova 6-0 6-0 in R2
