Madrid Open: Baptiste Stuns World No. 1 Sabalenka For Maiden WTA 1000 SF
American Hailey Baptiste: American Hailey Baptiste delivered a stunning upset to knock out World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka and book a place in semifinals of the Madrid Open, continuing her dream run at the WTA 1000 event.
The 24-year-old came from a set down and saved six match points to secure a hard-fought 2-6, 6-2, 7-6(6) victory in a contest lasting two hours and 30 minutes. The win not only marked the biggest triumph of her career but also ended Sabalenka’s 15-match winning streak on the tour.
Baptiste, who had never beaten a Top 5 opponent prior to this week, has now registered back-to-back wins over top-tier players in Madrid. She had earlier ousted Jasmine Paolini in the third round and, with this result, advanced to her maiden WTA 1000 semifinal.
