The coach change has really been good for Maria 👏🏽

Sakkari's shoulders should be sculpted, bronzed, and permanently displayed at the louvre.

that drop shot at 1:01 has to be one of the best disguises I've ever seen

Such a relief that Maria makes so much less noise than before. It appears to be good for her tennis as well as our ears.

Kudos to the drop shot, but what a run from Maria at 1:03, boy that was fast 😮

No small feat for Maria. I love how freely Vekic plays, for Maria to beat her in straight sets is a statement

Statement win for Maria, Vekic is no slouch.

Woohoo... the coaching change is suiting Maria well... let's hope she can keep her mental side of things as strong as her ground strokes! 🙂

Sakkari looks leaner. Looks like she's been training hard.

We talk a lot about the coaching change, but 10 points to Maria for not giving up and continuing to fight. What was it 6 months ago she was making "retirement" jokes and I was convinced she needed a break. But she double down with David and has come a long way. Title contendor for sure on the faster Spanish clay. ❤

Well done Maria!! Great play!!👋💙

Well done Maria! 👏❤️

ah, blast it. tough one, donna.

Little spitfire 🔥

Would love to see Maria win this - going to be tough though with Iga.

J’ai bien aimé l’accolade à la fin du match 😊

Her hair bun changed too

Can someone sort the sun out in Madrid, apart from ruining the picture it makes me vile with jealousy in freezing wet UK

Yay Maria!❤

What Vekic lacks is form.

did they not record Coco's match?

Μπράβο σου Μαράκι! Άιντε... Αυτή τη φορά θα κεράσεις εσύ την ταβέρνα.

I feel bad for Vekic. She is completely out of form.

Maria is looking more muscular than some men!
