A couple of minutes later, the fear became reality, as Madison Keys served up the first 6-0 set, or bagel, that Świątek has received in almost four years. Not since a match against Daria Kasatkina at Eastbourne in England in June 2021 had she lost a set 6-0.

In a blow to his clay court season, Alex de Minaur's Madrid Open comes to a crushing end, beaten in straight sets by Italian Lorenzo Musetti.

Iga Swiatek survived “one of the weirdest matches” after losing the first six games and recovering to defeat Madison Keys and stay on track to defend her title at the Madrid Open.
