Coco Gauff seems to have figured out Mirra Andreeva. It's now three victories in three matches for the American. However, in these quarterfinals of the Mutua Madrid Open, the Russian was playing a great first set, reaching 5-4 and 40-15, enjoying two set points, but the American saved them and from there on, Conchita Martinez's protégé collapsed, not winning another point in what remained of the first set and in the second set was a mere shadow of what she usually is. Gauff maintained her level and won the match 7-5, 6-1, to meet the current champion, Iga Swiatek, in the semifinals.

The Polish player reveals the differences between the first set and the rest of the match in order to turn the match around against Madison Keys.
Carlos Alcaraz has picked up a tennis racket again after the Conde de Godó final on April 20. Since then, the player from Murcia had not set foot on a tennis court due to his injury in the right adductor and certain discomfort in the left hamstring, which forced him to withdraw from the Mutua Madrid Open. The world number three stated that he would take a few days off to avoid pushing too hard, and on Wednesday, the 30th, he returned to training in Murcia, with both legs bandaged as a precaution. It is worth noting that his main goal is to arrive in the best possible condition at Roland Garros, but he does not rule out playing in Rome if he has positive feelings.

Iga Swiatek really struggled to come back against Madison Keys in the quarterfinals of the Mutua Madrid Open, but the Polish player turned it around and defeated the world number five (0-6, 6-3, 6-2). With this win, the title defender advances to the semifinals and surpasses Serena Williams in the percentage of victories against Top 10 players. Swiatek now has a 71% winning rate, while Serena retired with a 70.9%. However, there is still one player above the one from Warsaw, Steffi Graf, who has a 75% winning rate.
71.0 - Since 1990, Iga Swiatek (71.0%, 49-20) has now surpassed Serena Williams (70.9%) for the second-highest win rate against WTA top 10 opponents, now only trailing Steffi Graf (75.0%) - minimum 10 matches. Wow. #MMOPEN @MutuaMadridOpen @WTA @WTA_insider pic.twitter.com/O8fHAI4EqS

Iga Swiatek was not going to give up so easily. After suffering a 0-6 deficit in the first set against a Madison Keys who was not missing a shot, the Polish player turned the game around in time, fueled by the wounded pride of being the current champion to advance to the semifinals of the Mutua Madrid Open. Swiatek clinched the match 0-6, 6-3, 6-2, in an hour and 45 minutes displaying great tennis after a slow start. The title defender aims to retain her title and secure her first trophy of the year. She is now in the semifinals awaiting either Mirra Andreeva or Coco Gauff.
