Day 12 of the 2024 Mutua Madrid Open is set to feature the women's singles and men's doubles finals at the Caja Magica in Manzanares Park.
World No. 1 Iga Swiatek will challenge the defending champion Aryna Sabalenka for a maiden title in Madrid on Saturday (May 4). The duo will take on each other for the 10th time on the women's tour. The Pole has a 6-3 head-to-head advantage against Sabalenka, and defeated her most recently in the 2023 WTA Finals in Cancun.
While Swiatek outclassed the likes of Beatriz Haddad Maia and Madison Keys en route to the final, Sabalenka outmuscled in-form players such as Mirra Andreeva and Elena Rybakina. Despite losing the first set against Rybakina, she defeated the Kazakh in two hours and 17 minutes in the semifinals with a score of 1-6, 7-5, 7-6(5).
On the other hand, Sebastian Korda & Jordan Thompson continued their stellar run in men's doubles at the 2024 Madrid Open. The duo will battle it out against Adam Pavlasek & Ariel Behar in the final on Saturday.
While Korda and Thompson outsmarted the 11th seeds Jaime Murray & Michael Venus in the semifinals, Pavlasek and Behar received a fortunate walkover victory over tournament favorites, Marcel Granollers & Horacio Zeballos (leg injury to Zeballos).
Korda and Thompson entered the men's doubles draw using a spot reserved for singles players in the new doubles format in Madrid. They have been sensational at the event so far, outfoxing four seeded teams en route to the final, including the top seeds Rohan Bopanna and Matthew Ebden.
