It was Świątek's worst loss on clay since 2019. She must now regroup for the Italian Open in Rome, where she is the defending champion.

World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka overcame a second-set fight by fourth seed Coco Gauff to secure a 6-3 7-6 (3) win and clinch her third Madrid Open on Saturday as the three-time major winner claimed her third title this year on the WTA tour.

Coco Gauff got past the disappointment of losing the Madrid Open final to Aryna Sabalenka and was celebrating a solid week that will make her the top-ranked American woman on Monday.
