The Polish Iga Swiatek, currently world number one, continues without giving options to her rivals and, this Friday, she reached the final of the Dubai tennis tournament, WTA1000 on hard courts, after eliminating the American Coco Gauff.
Swiatek, who in previous meetings in Dubai lost only three games (she reached the semifinals after Czech Karolina Pliskova withdrew), had more opposition against Gauff, the sixth player in the world, who he defeated 6-4, 6-2. , in just an hour and a half game.
It was the fifth victory for the Polish woman against the American in the same number of matches, in which she did not drop a set.
This time, Gauff showed more opposition, especially in the first set, where he was behind with 5-2, when Swaitek broke serve, but he got a tight 5-4, after recovering one of them.
The second sleeve was a walk for the Polish, who had a resounding 4-0. He came back to recover one of the service breaks in the sixth game (4-2), but Swiatek didn’t give him much joy.
Swiatek now expects a rival in the final to emerge in the clash between American Jessica Pegula (n.3) and Czech Barbora Krejcikova.
