Swallowing eggs still reversed to advance, and the Madrid women's singles semifinals lineup is luxurious!


"You've given away a lot of eggs over the years, how do you feel about swallowing one yourself this time?"


"It's not a great feeling, but at least the first set was quick, which was the only positive point, but it's a bit strange to be able to win the match after swallowing the egg."


On the last day of April, the quarter-finals of the Madrid Open women's singles were played first, starting with the tournament's No.2 seed Swiatek and this year's Australian Open women's singles champion Keys.


Just when fans were expecting the two to have a showdown on clay, Keys won the first set 6-0 in a stunning form, which was Swiatek's first clay egg in six years.



The last time Poland ate an egg on clay was in the 2019 French Open quarter-finals against Romania's Halep, who swept 6-1 6-0.


The last time Swiatek swallowed an egg on tour was in the 2021 season, when she faced Casakina in the quarter-finals at Eastbourne, where she lost 0-6 1-6 after taking the next set 6-4.


Of course, the former French Open women's singles champion showed excellent clay strength last night, and even after swallowing eggs in the first set, Swiatek quickly adjusted her form and finally reversed her opponent to advance to the semi-finals with a score of 0-6 6-3 6-2.



The other women's singles semi-final spot in the bottom half was won by American Gauff, who defeated Andreeva 7-5 6-1 to make it three wins in a row and reach the semi-finals of the Women's Singles in WTA1000 for the ninth time in her career (and her first semi-finals this season).


Looking ahead to the upcoming semi-finals in the second half of the tournament, Gauff and Swiatek will meet for the 15th time of their careers, and in terms of head-to-head record, Swiatek leads the record at 11-3 and has won all five of her previous meetings on clay.



The semi-final lineup in the top half of the Women's Singles is [1] Sabalenka VS [17] Svitolina. Sabalenka, a two-time champion, knocked out Kosdik in the quarter-finals to reach the semi-finals of Madrid for the fourth time in her career, and the world number one is in his sixth semi-final of the season.



In contrast, 17th seed Svitolina made it easier to qualify, as she swept past the tournament's dark horse Moe Nachijima 6-2 6-1 to reach the semi-finals of Madrid for the first time in her career, marking Svitolina's return to the semi-finals of the WTA1000 tournament after Miami 2021.


Looking at the women's singles semi-finals list of this year's Madrid, it can be said that it is full of gold, so which two players are you expecting to compete in the women's singles final?(Source: Tennis House Author: Barbie)
