French Open: Four times Iga Swiaatek to take over Arena Sabalinka in the semi -finals Tennis News

Iga Swiaatek remained on its path to win its fourth consecutive, open consecutive after reaching the semi -finals, where she will meet the old opponent Arena Sabalinka.

Swiaatek won its twenty-sixth consecutive victory in Roland Garros after 6-1 victory against 13 Elena Svetolina seeds from Ukraine.

World No 1 Sabalenka has the 41st week at the top of the categories, and the Olympia Champion Cheng is expelled 7-6 (7-3) 6-3 in the quarter-finals.

Swiaatek, who spent 125 weeks in the No. 1 world, will face the current world number 1 in the four final on Thursday.

“I had to have a better intensity at the beginning of the second group,” Soykik said in the post -match interview. “When I saw my intensity low, I got it again. I’m happy because I did it at the end of the group.

“Against Arena, this challenge is always. It has a game for every surface. I have to do, and I am brave with my shots and go to it. It is a great season.”

“I will not lie. It will be a difficult match, but I am happy with the challenge,” she added.

Sabalenka, who is looking to add Roland Garros to two Australians and crowns in the United States, won a hard competition, near two hours.

Cheng, the eighth seed of China, was the last woman to win a title here after she got Olympic gold in August.

She has collapsed in the first group and gave Sabalenka the largest test for the championship so far, but she has not been able to prevent her from making the last four for the second time three years ago.

The 27 -year -old said: “This was a real battle. Frankly, I have no idea how she managed to break her back and return to the first group.

“I was just trying to fight and I was just trying to put as possible as possible.

Cheng Sabalinka defeated Roma last month, but this may have done the Belarusian known.

“I must say that in the last championship, I was very stressful,” she added.

“Frankly, I was already happy because I lost that match because I needed a small break before Roland Garros.

“I was more advantageous today and I was ready to fight and fight and leave everything I have in court to get this victory.”

Swiaatek, who has been banning doping for one month in late last year, is looking forward to becoming the first woman in the professional era since 1968 to win four consecutive titles in Paris.

It generally leads from 8-4 model against Sabalenka, and Court-Court face to 5-1 face.

Nevertheless, Sabalinka defeated Swiaatek 6-3 6-3 in their last meeting, over the difficult courts in Cincinnati last year.

This will be their first meeting ever in Roland Garros.
