REIGNING champion Aryna Sabalenka and Iwa Swiatek will face off again at the Madrid Open tomorrow in a repeat of last year’s final.

Swiatek stormed into the final in the space of 71 minutes with a 6-1 6-3 win over Madison Keys before Sabalenka needed more than two hours to overcome Elena Rybakina and continue the defence of her title.

Swiatek, the world number one, broke serve in the second game of her match with Keys and, after saving two break points for a 4-1 lead, never looked in danger of relinquishing the upper hand against her big-hitting opponent.
