Hey there, tennis fans! πΎ Guess what just happened at the Madrid Open? The amazing Coco Gauff powered past defending champion Iga Swiatek with a stunning 6-1, 6-1 victory! π
With this win, Coco is heading to the Madrid Open women’s singles final for the very first time! She broke Swiatek’s serve multiple times to secure her spot. Isn’t that awesome? π
Next up, she’ll face the world’s number one player, Aryna Sabalenka from Belarus. Sabalenka defeated Elina Svitolina 6-3, 7-5 to reach the final. It’s going to be an epic showdown! π
Coco said, “The mentality that I had in the whole match was aggressive. Maybe it wasn’t her best level today, but I think I forced her into some awkward positions.”
Swiatek admitted she had a tough day: “I couldn’t really get my level up. Coco played good, but I think it’s on me that I didn’t really move well.”
Sabalenka has won the Madrid Open title before and is looking strong. But Coco is ready to give it her all! Who do you think will win the big final? Let us know! π€©
