After taking down a whole top 50 player in the first round of the WTA 125K La Bisbal, we knew how hard it would be for Aliona Bolsova to handle her emotions in the next match. With the end of her career at stake this week, the Spanish tennis player fell on Wednesday to Marina Bassols (6-3, 7-6) and therefore says goodbye to a remarkable journey. But beware, she is still alive in the doubles draw, where she actually partners with... Marina Bassols! The twists of fate, everything stays at home. I can't think of a better outcome than seeing them lifting the doubles title this weekend.

It's now ten consecutive victories for Marta Kostyuk, currently one of the fittest players on the circuit. Without having lost a single match on this clay court tour, the Ukrainian continues to make her mark at the Mutua Madrid Open, where she has already reached the semifinals. Today, she had to grit her teeth in a tumultuous start against Linda Noskova, but eventually came through with the win (7-6, 6-0). A major threat when this player steps onto the court with confidence, which Anastasia Potapova should consider for their upcoming match.

He just won the Conde de Godó Trophy and now it seems like he wants to repeat at the Mutua Madrid Open. A combo that Rafa Nadal used to do and that was later repeated by Carlos Alcaraz, the same one that now seems to have Arthur Fils in mind. The Frenchman once again showed on Wednesday how much he loves Spain, defeating Jiri Lehecka (6-3, 6-4) and entering the last four in the draw. His next opponent will be Jannik Sinner, a tough challenge, but it is precisely at this moment that the Frenchman seems to be more fired up than ever for this kind of challenge.

At 01:20 in the morning, the Mutua Madrid Open session ended with Alexander Zverev triumphing over Jakub Mensik in three sets (6-4, 6-7, 6-3). A match between great servers where it seemed everything was heading towards another tiebreak, but the German relied on his physicality and experience to solve the situation earlier. Now he awaits Flavio Cobolli in the semifinals, which won't be an easy challenge either.

Epic Tuesday night at the Mutua Madrid Open. The big favorite, the champion, the world number 1, Aryna Sabalenka, fell, enjoying six match points but unable to capitalize on any. Hailey Baptiste seized the opportunity to claim one of the best victories of her career (2-6, 6-2, 7-6) and advance for the first time to the semifinals of such a category tournament. And of course, for the first time on clay. The tournament loses its superstar, setting up the American to face Mirra Andreeva in the semifinals.
