Sorribes Tormo S. News
Sara Sorribes Tormo, one of the hosts’ hopes, meets in the first round Simona Halep, finalist of the 2019 edition and winner in Madrid in 2016 and 2017. The 24-year-old Iberica had a fantastic start to the 2021 season, winning 15 of the 21 of matches played, including the trophy in Guadalajara, the first WTA of his career. Sorribes Tormo impressed with the return game on hard, and now he returns to his favorite surface, clay. However, Sara never made it past the second round in Madrid, the tournament where she will tick her ninth appearance.
Halep S. News
Simona Halep returns to the field after eliminating the “lightning” from the semifinal with Aryna Sabalenka from Stuttgart, where the Belarusian lost only 5 games. Simona always played well in Madrid, where she triumphed in 2016 and 2017, losing two more finals, in 2014 and 2019, the last one in front of the Dutch Kiki Bertens. Although the high altitude in the Spanish capital benefits players with strong service, such as Bertens, Halep has evolved excellently in this tournament and is the number 3 seed now. In 2021, Simona did not win a title and was eliminated in the quarterfinals at the Australian Open.
