Aryna Sabalenka claimed her third Madrid title this Saturday, after victories in 2021 and 2023. The Belarusian and world No. 1 defeated Coco Gauff in the final, who was playing her very first final in the Spanish tournament.

During the trophy ceremony, Sabalenka made sure to congratulate Gauff for her performance throughout the tournament:

"First, I’d like to congratulate Coco and her team for an incredible two weeks. I’m really happy to see you in a final again, playing at this level. I’m sure we’ll face each other in more finals, and I hope I win them all (laughs).

But I love playing against you—you’re always such a fighter. Thank you for this final. [...]

Thank you to the sponsors and everyone who made this tournament possible. Thank you to Feliciano (Lopez, tournament director). It’s always amazing to come back here—I love this place. I’m always excited to play in front of this crowd. Thank you all for your support.

Thank you to my team. We’re a family, we work hard, and we’ve been through tough times. I love you—only sometimes (laughs). Thank you for everything."

She will win a lot more. Have you seen her ability, hunger and determination? Age is also on her side.

Sabalenka has probably just entered her prime within the past year or so. Barring major injury, on what basis do you conclude that her days of winning top tier events a la WTA 1000s and Grand Slams are soon coming to an end? What a head-scratching comment to make without any justification whatsoever.

Not a good speech

Speeches are not her strong point. At least this time her team was spared the negative comments and degrading sarcasm she dishes when she has lost.

why did tennis tonic void predictions on the match between Chwalinska and Huergo at the Quito tournament? The match was played to completion and on time. If TT feels the match is one sided, and of course it was, then don't put it up for prediction. This is getting irritating.

The finals are here, and we scramble for the best finish. I've been chasing "King" all year and I was able to shrink the spread a little. Skelp is also closing the gap.

Seasons best to all the regulars in our league.

Will you all be back in the new year.?

Steffi Graf completed a Golden Slam (not just a career Grand Slam) when she was 19. She is the only person to accomplish that, winning the four majors plus Olympic gold the same calendar year.
