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.

A strange and tense moment occurred during Iga Swiatek's press conference after her recent victory at the 2025 Mutua Madrid Open. The Polish player was asked if the ATP is becoming more like the WTA in recent months, referring to how open their major tournaments seem to be and how some people might view this negatively. "I don't know what people are referring to. I need more details. What does it mean? More open? I don't know, Jannik and Carlos won all the Slams last year, I don't think... I don't get it. I guess I have no opinion. I'm too stupid to answer that question," responded an unhappy Iga to the topic of discussion.

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.
While all eyes are on the Mutua Madrid Open, simultaneously other tournaments are taking place such as the WTA 125K in Vic. In fact, some of the players who were eliminated in the first week at the Caja Mágica decided to participate in the Catalan tournament. However, some top seeds like Leylah Fernández, Renata Zarazúa, Lulu Sun, or Kimberly Birrell are absent. As a result, only the third seed, Katerina Siniakova, remains in contention.
Here are the quarterfinals of the WTA 125K Vic:
. A Sasnovich - C Martinez Cirez
. [3] K Siniakova - R Masarova
. G Maristany - D Galfi
. A Bolsova - O Selekhmeteva

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.
