Mutua Madrid Open Match Preview
One of the best matches of 2025 is getting a rematch at the Caja Magica with Iga Swiatek and Madison Keys reprising their Australian Open semifinal on clay.
Keys scored only her second victory over the world No. 1 in three dramatic sets, going on to win her first major title over defending champion Aryna Sabalenka in Melbourne. She followed that up with a run to the BNP Paribas Open semifinals but appeared to lose her way after a thudding loss to Sabalenka in the California desert.
Semifinalist in Madrid last year, Keys is back on track with three victories without losing a set; her win over Donna Vekic, who nearly beat her in Indian Wells, took just over an hour.
While Keys has sailed, Swiatek has struggled in her title defense, going three sets against both Alexandra Eala and Diana Shnaider. Both matches saw the No. 2 seed show impressive resilience to fend off her younger foes, and is now in a comfortable match-up against the American, whom she’s beaten three times on clay. Winner: Swiatek—David Kane
