The defeat of Coco Gauff against Linda Noskova in the Mutua Madrid Open 2026 round of 16 has had consequences in the higher part of the WTA ranking. The American tennis player will lose a large number of points as she was not able to defend the final she reached last year. This will allow Iga Swiatek to regain the number 3 spot in the ranking starting next Monday, with a 199-point advantage over Gauff. Gauff will also have to defend the points from winning Roland Garros and reaching the final in Rome.

The Mutua Madrid Open continues to progress in its women's draw, and we already have the Round of 16 defined in the top half, that of Aryna Sabalenka. There, we find two notable absences of two women who were expected to go far at the Caja Mágica. Iga Swiatek was forced to withdraw from the tournament while trailing in the third set against Ann Li due to a virus that prevented her from competing normally. The Polish player left the court in tears in one of the toughest moments of the tournament. Jasmine Paolini also bid farewell to the Spanish capital after being surprised by Hailey Baptiste. Another seed, Iva Jovic, also fell, this time against Leylah Fernández.

A very tough day for Iga Swiatek who still can't find the desired feelings. The Mutua Madrid Open 2026 seemed like the perfect setting to regain faith in her tennis and new identity, but the Polish player's major obstacle has turned out to be her physical condition. Today, in her third-round match against Ann Li, she appeared unwell throughout the game, even going as far as calling the doctor to check her vitals. Ultimately, Iga retired in the middle of the third set (7-6(4), 2-6, 3-0 and retirement) and left the court in tears, deeply affected by the situation. We will see if she issues a statement soon and communicates the extent of her physical issues.

This very morning it has come to light that Liudmila Samsonova has also decided to withdraw from the Mutua Madrid Open 2026 due to food poisoning. She joins the absences of other important tennis players like Marin Cilic, Amanda Anisimova, Iga Swiatek, or Madison Keys, and the reason is none other than some shrimp tacos that have put the entire tournament on edge. Even before its start, several names said that something was not right, and little by little they have been dropping out due to this dish in poor condition, waiting to see if there will be any more last-minute indispositions.

With a strong step forward, Iga Swiatek has had a triumphant start in her first match at the Mutua Madrid Open 2026, easily finding her forehand and dominating from the baseline. She only dropped three games against Ukrainian Daria Snigur (6-1, 6-2), showcasing shades of the best version of Iga in a long time. Not only that: she even dared to speak a bit of Spanish in the post-match interview, a sign of how content and happy she was with her performance. Hello to you too, Iga!
