Madrid Open Round of 16: Matchups, key outcomes and who advanced
What began as one of the most anticipated days of the tournament on Monday came to a halt at the Mutua Madrid Open, as a widespread power outage across parts of Spain, Portugal and southern France forced the suspension of six Round of 16 matches. Only two were completed -- Coco Gauff defeated Belinda Bencic, while Mirra Andreeva held off Yuliia Starodubtseva.
Those six remaining matches were started and completed Tuesday, with top seeds Aryna Sabalenka and Iga Swiatek both advancing to the quarterfinals. The day delivered a full slate of action, wrapping up a round delayed -- but not derailed -- by an unusual interruption.
