Get ready to grab your popcorn, people — because Madrid is about to pop OFF! 🎾💥 Aryna Sabalenka, the queen of clay (and absolute powerhouse), is going head-to-head with her old buddy and now longtime rival, Elise Mertens, in the third round of the 2025 Mutua Madrid Open — and trust us, this one’s gonna be spicy!
As first reported by Khel Now, Sabalenka’s been on a total heater against Mertens lately — winning EIGHT matches in a row. Yikes. Their last clash? Just 10 days ago in Stuttgart, where Sabalenka casually steamrolled her 6-4, 6-1. No mercy, no chill. 🔥
Sources revealed that Sabalenka’s feeling mega confident this week. She’s rocking a 25-5 record this season, she’s already lifted the trophy twice here (2021 and 2023, if you’re counting), and her clay court game is looking as sharp as a fresh set of acrylics.
Meanwhile, Mertens isn’t exactly rolling over. The Belgian ace just schooled Camila Osorio in the second round — so she’s bringing some heat herself. Plus, she’s sitting pretty at 19-8 this year and knows her way around the dirt with a 66% clay court win rate. Girl’s got grit. 💪🏼
But real talk: beating Sabalenka right now? It’s like trying to beat Beyoncé at karaoke. Good luck, babe.
According to reports from Sportsbook Wire, Sabalenka is the heavy favorite heading into Sunday’s match. Fans are already buzzing — and you know social media’s gonna go full meltdown mode when these two hit the court.
Set your alarms, charge your phones, and get ready to witness pure chaos (the good kind). Sabalenka vs. Mertens in Madrid? ICONIC.
