It’s Day 6 at WTA Madrid, and defending champion Aryna Sabelenka is on court to continue her quest to retain her title. Three other matches are on the cards, with players meeting for the first time.
Elena Rybakina’s consistency on the tour this season needs to be applauded. With only four losses and twenty-four wins, she seats as World No.4. After beating Veronika Kudermetova in her first match in Stuttgart, she again showed strength and character by outclassing Italian Jasmine Paolini to reach the semifinals.
Ons Jabeur, the Tunisian pro, who made it to three Grand Slam finals last year, failed even to cross the second round of several tournaments this year.
