Caty McNally earns First Top-10 Win in Madrid

Caty McNally beat Victoria Mboko 6-4, 6-1 to reach the third round in Madrid.

It is the first top-10 win of McNally’s career, and she has not dropped a set so far this week.

The result comes after a difficult period that included injuries and elbow surgery in 2024. After spending time working her way back, this is a significant step forward.

After the match, she spoke about finally being able to close out matches against top players.

“Oh my God. It feels really good. I feel like I’ve been knocking on the door for a little while. With some of these great players, taking a set off of them but not being able to string together two sets… that was something going into this week that I’m trying to focus on. Today I stayed so tough. I’m so proud of that. I played some really solid tennis. It’s a really nice feeling.”

McNally now moves into the next round with momentum after a strong start to the tournament.
