Polish No. 2 seed Iga Swiatek and American No. 4 Coco Gauff bounced back from first-set defeats to win their respective matches in the second round of the Mutua Madrid Open on Thursday in Spain.

Reigning Madrid Open champion Iga Swiatek narrowly avoided another upset on clay against a young upstart. The world No. 2 has had an uneven start to her 2025 season, by her standards. Swiatek has not won a tournament so far this year.

Defending Madrid champion Świątek recovered from a nervy opening set to beat Eala, who won their first meeting in Miami in a stunning upset.
