Iga Swiatek vs Aryna Sabalenka Match prediction, head-to-head, preview, and live stream | Madrid Open

Iga Swiatek vs Aryna Sabalenka: World No. 1 Iga Swiatek will be facing 2nd-seeded Aryna Sabalenka in the final of the 2024 Madrid Open on Saturday (May 6) in what will be the re-match of the 2024 Stuttgart Open final.

Swiatek outclassed Veronika Kudermetova, Petra Martic, Ekaterina Alexandrova, and Julia Grabher to advance to the summit clash. She has been impressive this season, having won two titles, the recent being the Stuttgart Open.

Aryna Sabalenka, like Swiatek, played in Madrid after the Stuttgart Open. She has clinched just one title this season but it was the 2024 Australian Open trophy. En route to the final, she knocked out Maria Sakkari, Mayar Sherif, Mirra Andreeva, Camila Osorio, and Sorana Cirstea. She has won her first clay title at the 2021 Madrid Open.

Iga Swiatek vs Aryna Sabalenka head-to-head record

Swiatek leads the head-to-head stand 5-2. Sabalenka defeated the Pole twice in the WTA Finals. Their only meeting this year came in the Stuttgart Open finals where the 21-year-old eased past the Belarusian which also was a repeat of last year’s Stuttgart Open final.

Iga Swiatek vs Aryna Sabalenka prediction

Swiatek is a terrific counterpuncher, her serve is powerful, and has fast forehand and backhand. She is quite a runner on the court. But despite incorporating all the aggressive style of play, she also turns defensive and creates opportunities to hit a winner, and regularly uses the drop shot.

The Belarusian, meanwhile, is a powerful player from the baseline and equally has strong groundstrokes, but her serve is her strength, which allows her to serve more aces, but at the same, it’s inconsistent which results in her double fault count.

Though both Sabalenka and Swiatek can stun each other in the final, Swiatek will have the upper hand because she is exceptional on clay.

Prediction: Swiatek in three sets.
