The 2023 WTA Madrid Open came to an end on Saturday, May 6, with Aryna Sabalenka winning the tournament by beating Iga Swiatek in the final.

With the win, Sabalenka clinched her second Madrid title, third WTA title of the year, her fourth win over a World No. 1, her fifth WTA 1000 title, and 13th WTA singles title. She also became only the fourth two-time champion in Madrid, after Serena Williams, Petra Kvitova, and Simona Halep.
