Swiatek rallies against Haddad Maia to reach Madrid Open semis

PublishedMADRID —

The top-ranked Swiatek was up 4-1 in the first set but the 14th-ranked Brazilian rallied. Swiatek regained control in the final two sets to reach her fifth semifinal of the year.The Madrid Open is the only high-profile European clay tournament that Swiatek has yet to win. In the men's draw, third-seeded Daniil Medvedev was given the run around by Alexander Bublik before winning 7-6 , 6-4.

“A lot of drop shots, and I got so tired in the end running for them,” Medvedev said. “That's when you lose your concentration and you start to play a bit worse. That's what happened, but after the match he told me he was dead also. So, good for me, at least I was not the only one.”World No. 8 Andrey Rublev comfortably defeated Tallon Griekspoor 6-2, 6-4 for his third consecutive straight-set win in Madrid.

Francisco Cerundolo, ranked 22nd, upset two-time champion Alexander Zverev 6-3, 6-4 for his third career win over a top-five player. Cerundolo has Taylor Fritz next after the American defeated Hubert Hurkacz 7-6 , 6-4.
