The 12th day of main draw action at the Madrid Open on Saturday (May 6) will feature the ladies' singles and men's doubles finals.
In a blockbuster contest for the ladies' singles title, top seed Iga Swiatek will take on second seed Aryna Sabalenka in only the third 1-2 title match in Madrid in 40 years.
Both ladies have been largely untroubled this fortnight, dropping just one set in five matches. Swiatek is coming off a dominant win over Veronika Kudermetova in the last four, dropping only three games, while Sabalenka was equally ruthless against Maria Sakkari, conceding just five games.
The pair have already clashed this season - in the Stuttgart final two weeks ago - which Swiatek won. The Pole is 9-0 on European clay this season and seeking her first Madrid title, while Sabalenka - whose only claycourt title came at this tournament two years ago - is seeking her second.
However, the head-to-head record favours Swiatek, who's 3-0 against Sabalenka on clay and 5-2 overall. In fact, the Pole is a staggering 27-1 on clay since 2022 and will need some stopping.
Swiatek - 25-4 on the season - is seeking to complete her set of claycourt titles - Stuttgart (2), Rome (1), and Roland Garros (2). Meanwhile, Sabalenka - the reigning Australian Open champion - is at tour-leading 28-4.
Meanwhile, Karen Khachanov beat Andrey Rublev in the fourth round in men's singles but has combined with his good friend to reach the Madrid Open doubles final. The pair is looking to win their first team title.
