Sabalenka battles past Osorio in Madrid

Aryna Sabalenka managed to outlast Camila Osorio in a very tricky Madrid Open matchup beating her in two straight sets 6-4 7-5.

The Belarusian is a former champion of this event having won it in the past and she's looking fairly decent this year as well. It was a tough match, one where she faced a lot of issues against the tricky Osorio. Sabalenka took an early lead in the first set 2-0 but the Colombian was able to take the break back and even put herself in front 4-3.

Still, Sabalenka kept playing her game and overwhelmed Osorio snatching the first set away from her 6-4. The second set saw Sabalenka take a pretty commanding lead 4-1 thanks to her superb ball striking which was too much for Osorio at times. The Colombian never gives up and she was able to pull back one of the breaks.
