Sinner beats Norrie 6-2, 7-5 and calls for schedule change
Hailey Baptiste ended Aryna Sabalenka’s title defence in Madrid on Tuesday and halted the world No 1’s 15-match winning streak with a 2-6, 6-2, 7-6 (6) quarter-final victory to deliver the biggest shock of the tournament so far.
The American saved five match points at 4-5 in the decider and a sixth in the tie-break before she handed Sabalenka just her second defeat of the year and her first since the Australian Open final three months ago.
