The Michigan-born, Florida-raised Opelka got off to a really strong start as Ruud really struggled early on to make any kind of a dent into the American's service games. The 26-year-old Norwegian would basically blink and it would be 40-0. On the flip side, Ruud wasn't getting any easy points on his serve and faced two break points in his very first service game.

Gauff overpowered defending champion Iga Swiatek 6-1, 6-1, achieving a strong first-time presence in the Madrid Open singles final, showcasing her aggressive mentality throughout the match.
