dailyloe.com – In the semifinals of the Mutua Madrid Open, Mirra Andreeva will face Hailey Baptiste. Both players are vying for their first Madrid final on the WTA Tour.
The semifinal matches will take place at Estadio Manolo Santana. The schedule includes Andreeva vs. Baptiste at 4:00 p.m. and Kostyuk vs. Potapova at 9:30 p.m.
Andreeva leads their head-to-head record 1-0, with their last meeting resulting in a 6-1, 6-3 victory for Andreeva at the 2025 Wimbledon third round.
Baptiste achieved a significant upset by defeating World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka, winning 2-6, 6-2, 7-6 (6). She saved six match points during that match, marking her first top five victory.
Baptiste described her journey as a revenge tour, particularly after avenging a previous loss to Sabalenka. She will now face Andreeva, who eliminated her in their last encounter.
This is Baptiste’s first time reaching the semifinals at a WTA 1000 event and she is the lowest-ranked player to achieve a comeback victory against a World No. 1 on clay in the last 40 years.
Andreeva has made a strong showing in Madrid, reaching her first semifinal. Both players are looking to capitalize on their momentum as they approach this crucial match.
