Gounfe lit a moderation from the final to against the number 1 World Cup Sabalenka de Belarusia, who dealt with business in the semifinals with a 6-3 victory, 7-5 over seed No. 17 Elina Svitolina or Ukraine.
Gouff reached the final in this WTA 1000 event for the first time and is at the precipice of its first 2025 title.
The Gouff service was at its maximum point on Thursday, since it won the a whopping 19 or 21 first service points (90.5 percent) and only lost six service points in general. Sheven had seven aces to Swiatek, and Gobef felt that her opponent did not make her run on the court to keep up.
“I think (it was) the mentality that I had the whole game,” said the 21 -year -old American in the interview of his course. “I was aggressive and played with margin. Maybe Nart was his best level.
“For me, it was just to make sure that my level remained the same. In the second, I lifted it.”
Goorff has a 5-4 advantage in the series of all time with Sabalenka, its most notable victory in the US Open 2023 final, the first and so far only the Grand Slam title.
Sabalenka goes to his fourth final in Madrid. He won in 2021 and 2023 and fell against Swiatek last year.
“Thank you very much guys for the atmosphere you bring here,” Sabalenka told the crowd after the game, according to tennis 365. “It’s really nice to play in front of you. I really love this scenario.”
Sabalenka won 29 or its 38 first service points (76.3 percent), saved 5 or 7 rest points and converted 4 or 6 opportunities to break Svitolina.
Below 40-0 in the final game, Svitolina kept a game point, but could not replicate the feat.
Gonff and Sabalenka will meet on Saturday to play for the title.
