The Polish Iga Swiatek This Tuesday he surpassed the American with authority Madison Keys, which she easily won in two sets, 6-1 and 6-3, to seal her place in the semifinals of the WTA 1,000 in Rome.
Swiatek turned on the machinery and rolled the roller. The fittest player in the world, more visible now after the Belarusian’s suffering Aryna Salbalenka In his round of 16 duel, where he suffered back problems, he was not kind to American Keys, who he ran over mercilessly.
First in a near perfect set where he left his opponent with just one serve, which he broke on 3 occasions to put his victory on track.
And it wasn’t long before a shot of almost identical caliber where, yes, he had to save two breaking balls on his first serve and where he gave up one serve. A speck of dust in a clean match.
This was the first game in Rome where Swiatek was clear and unmistakable from start to finish, with almost no mistakes, points scored where his physical power was also seen, solvent from the baseline, successful in the net. A duel with only one owner, from start to finish.
Swiatek wants to win again in Rome, as he did in 2022 and where he could not, due to injuries, in 2023.
In the semifinals, the Pole will face the winner of the duel between the Americans Coco Gauffthird favorite, and the Chinese Qinwen Zhengseventh seed
