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.

Iga Swiatek has recovered from losing the first six games of the match to defeat Madison Keys 0-6, 6-3, 6-2 and stay on track to defend her title at the Madrid Open.

Iga Swiatek got off to the worst possible start against Madison Keys but ultimately managed to get her revenge and complete a 0-6 6-3 6-2 win in an hour and 46 minutes of play in Madrid.
