Swiatek and Sabalenka power into Madrid quarterfinals a day after blackout. Top seed Zverev loses

Iga Swiatek and Aryna Sabalenka advanced to the Madrid Open quarterfinals on Wednesday after a major blackout delayed matches on Monday in Madrid.
The blackout occurred on Monday at the Caja Magica complex, forcing the postponement of over 20 matches and blocking entry for some attendees like Juan Duato.
Swiatek bounced back from a difficult start, dropping the first six games before rallying to win against Madison Keys in three sets, 0-6, 6-3, 6-2, in what she called one of her strangest matches, while Sabalenka narrowly prevailed over Marta Kostyuk by winning two tiebreakers.
Swiatek saved 11 of 13 break points against 13th-seeded Diana Shnaider earlier, and now aims to reach her third straight Madrid final by facing fourth-ranked Coco Gauff next.
The blackout's disruption led organizers to offer full refunds for Monday’s tickets, while top seeds like second-ranked Swiatek remain on track to defend their titles despite the unusual challenges.
