Aryna Sabalenka powered through the first set and edged Coco Gauff in a tiebreaker for 6-3, 7-6 (3) on the outdoor clay court.
Sabalenka added to titles in Madrid in 2021 and 2023 and equaled Petra Kvitova’s tournament record. It was also Sabalenka’s third title of the season after Brisbane and Miami and her career 20th. She also pulled level with Gauff on head-to-head with five wins apiece.
