WTA 1000 Madrid Draw:
King Arthur
A lot has happened since Arthur Fils last lifted an ATP title.
Out for 6 months with a serious low back injury, the Frenchman has come back with a vengeance.
After a final in Doha, quarterfinal at Indian Wells, and semifinal in Miami, he takes the title in Barcelona.
Road to Rouen
Marta Kostyuk ends the fairytale run of her 19yo compatriot Veronika Podrez in the first ever all-Ukrainian final at the WTA Tour level.
The top seed wins 6-3, 6-4, tightening her grip to get the deciding break late in the 2nd set and capture her 2nd WTA title.
Milestone in Munich
Last year's runner-up goes one step further this time around.
Ben Shelton defeats Flavio Cobolli, 6-2, 7-5, to take the title at the BMW Open, becoming the first American man to win a claycourt event above the ATP 250 level since Andre Agassi in 2002.
Sweeping Stuttgart
Elena Rybakina goes undefeated in her last 8 matches at the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix, defeating Karolina Muchova to take the title.
After winning in 2024 and skipping the event in 2025, the current world #2 wins 7-5, 6-1 to lift her 2nd title in Stuttgart.
Awesome in Oeiras
Maja Chwalinska dropped the first set of her first match this week.
But, after that? The 24yo has been in dominant form, dropping just 7 games to reach the final.
Chwalinska caps her run with a 6-1, 6-3 win over Sinja Kraus to lift her third WTA 125 trophy.
I love this sign at my son's little league field.
Veronika Podrez's incredible week continues as the 19yo Ukrainian moves into her first WTA final after Sorana Cirstea issues a walkover due to injury.
Podrez, who's playing her first ever WTA event this week in Rouen, is guaranteed a top 150 debut next week. #126 with the title.
Fils on Fire!
First off, massive credit to 19yo Rafael Jodar, who's proving to be a threat to top players very early in his career.
But, Arthur Fils gets the win with an impressive 3-6, 6-3, 6-2 turnaround against the up-and-coming Spaniard.
Fils faces Andrey Rublev in the final.
A friend had passed away apparently.
Stuttgart Showcase
Elena Rybakina came thiiiiiiiis close to going out to Leylah Fernandez in the last round.
Today? Totally different story.
The reigning Australian Open champion sweeps past last week's Linz winner, Mirra Andreeva, 7-5, 6-1, to reach the final.
Shelton's Second Chance
Last year, Ben Shelton became the first American to reach an ATP 500 claycourt final since Andre Agassi in 2002.
This year, he defeats Alex Molcan, 6-3, 6-4, to return to the final in Munich.
He faces Flavio Cobolli for another shot at the title.
Kostyuk Cruise Control
Tatjana Maria can bedevil the best of players with her maddening craftiness
But, it didn't work against Marta Kostyuk today
The top seed barrels through the German veteran, 6-3, 6-0, to set up an all-Ukrainian final against Veronika Podrez who advances as Cirstea withdraws
Muchova Moves On
It was neck-and-neck down to the wire, but Karolina Muchova makes her move at the right moment late in the 3rd set to defeat Elina Svitolina.
Already a titlest this year in Doha, Muchova powers into the championship match in Stuttgart with a 6-4, 2-6, 6-4 win.
Final-ly!
After an 11-month drought, Andrey Rublev is back in an ATP final with a comeback win over Hamad Medjedovic.
Rublev resets nicely after dropping the opening set against the at-times volatile Serbian, winning 3-6, 6-2, 6-2, to give himself a shot at his 19th ATP title.
Flawless Flavio
Well damn, y'all.
Flavio Cobolli puts on an absolute clinic in Munich, disposing of defending champion Alexander Zverev in just over an hour.
The Italian blasts 32 winners to just 14 errors in a 6-3, 6-3 sweep that moves him into the championship match.
Very quietly, 19yo Veronika Podrez of Ukraine is my story of the week.
Scores her first two top 100 wins in her WTA main tour debut in Rouen, reaching the semifinals with a 6-4, 6-1 win over Katie Boulter.
Top 200 debut guaranteed next week AND a Roland-Garros qualie spot.
Ruby Keeps Runnin'
We're coming up on the anniversary of Andrey Rublev's last appearance in an ATP final. (Hamburg 2025)
And the former world #5 looks determined not to let a full calendar year slip by without taking a shot at another title.
He's now one step away in Barcelona.
Elina Stays Lit
It's been an incredibly consistent year so far for Elina Svitolina.
A title in Auckland. Semifinal in Melbourne. A final in Dubai. And another semi at Indian Wells.
Add another deep run to the list as the current world #7 rolls into the semifinals in Stuttgart.
Montgomery Keeps Movin'
Playing just her 5th match since returning from an 8-month injury layoff, Robin Montgomery is rounding into impressive form in Oeiras.
The American gets past Suzan Lamens, 6-4, 3-6, 6-4, to reach her first semifinal (at any level) since the Auckland WTA 250 in 2025.
Cobolli Clears
Flavio Cobolli took the title in Acapulo then crashed out early at Indian Wells, Miami and Monte-Carlo.
But, back on the dirt of Barcelona, the Italian is finding his form once again.
Cobolli sweeps past Vit Kopriva, 6-3, 6-2, to reach the semifinals in Munich.
Hamad Moves Up
The early career of Hamad Medjedovic has been a rollercoaster.
After a breakout year in 2023 that saw him win the NextGen Finals, the young Serb has alternated between stretches of big wins and injury issues.
Back on the upswing, he's through to the semis in Barcelona.
I forget Jovic is a teenager. I still rank Tagger above her in career potential. But talking about anybody career potential as a teen is a little ridiculous. So... ๐คทโโ๏ธ
I totally whiffed that one.
I actually think she has the most complete package of the teenagers aside from Mirra Andreeva. Like Andreeva, there's an intangbile about Tagger that makes her special. The technical work on her backhand will improve, I think. But, she feels more complete at this point than most.
Sonmez Soars
Zeynep Sonmez fought her way through qualifying only to find herself squared off against world #8 Jasmine Paolini in the opening round of the main draw.
But, the history-maker from Turkiye rises to the occassion, winning 6-2, 6-2 to score her first top 10 win.
Onward, Upward
She dominated the WTA 125s to reach the top 100.
(And performed admirably in her grand slam debut against Madison Keys in Australia!)
Now, Oleksandra Oliynykova is proving she can win consistently at the WTA 250 level, taking out 18yo phenom Lilli Tagger.
Borges Gets Bold
Sealing the deal with an underarm ace on match point, Nuno Borges pulls off the upset in Barcelona.
The former Mississippi State star takes down one of the early standouts of the claycourt season, defeating Tomas Etcheverry, 6-3, 7-6โด, with a brave final blow.
