Marta Kostyuk, seeded No. 26, swept into the semi-finals of the Mutua Madrid Open by dismantling Czech player Linda Noskova, the No. 13 seed, 7-6(1), 6-0 on Wednesday evening. The victory marked another dominant performance on clay for Kostyuk, who has now won 10 consecutive matches and remains undefeated on the surface in 2026.
Kostyuk's run on clay began with her title win at Rouen and has carried through the spring season without interruption. Tennis Majors reported that the Ukrainian player's commanding performance in the quarter-final, particularly her second-set shutout, underscores her current form heading into the European clay swing. The semi-final appearance in Madrid marks her first at the tournament.
