Coco Gauff decisively defeated Iga Swiatek with a commanding 6-1, 6-1 victory to advance to her first Madrid Open singles final, demonstrating an aggressive playstyle that disrupted Swiatek, who struggled despite recovering from a similar setback against Madison Keys. Gauff will face either Aryna Sabalenka or Elina Svitolina in the final. On the men's side, Casper Ruud broke his losing streak against Daniil Medvedev by winning 6-3, 7-5, capitalizing on the clay surface to reach his 30th tour-level semifinal. Ruud's next opponent will be Francisco Cerundolo, who overcame Jakub Mensik after defeating top-seeded Alexander Zverev previously. The tournament faced disruptions earlier in the week due to a major blackout affecting Spain and Portugal, causing a backlog of matches at the Caja Magica complex.

Swiatek, the defending champion, was unable to replicate her comeback performance from the previous day against Madison Keys, where she had recovered from losing the first set 0-6.

Gauff will compete against either top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka or Elina Svitolina in the final, aiming to secure her first Madrid Open title.

Casper Ruud ended his losing streak against Daniil Medvedev by winning 6-3, 7-5, using the clay surface to his advantage and marking his 30th tour-level semifinal.

Ruud's next match will be against Francisco Cerundolo, who managed to defeat teenager Jakub Mensik in a three-set match after previously overcoming top-seeded Alexander Zverev.
