Iga Swiatek defeated Aryna Sabalenka 6-2, 6-1 to reach the Italian Open final, extending her winning streak to 27 matches.
The hard-hitting Sabalenka took a medical timeout late in the second set and had her back treated.Swiatek, who was a surprise champion at the French Open in 2020 when she was ranked No. 54, will be the favorite to add a second title at Roland Garros when the year’s second Grand Slam starts next weekend.
First, though, Swiatek will face either Ons Jabeur — who is on a 10-match winning streak — or Daria Kasatkina of Russia in Sunday’s final. The men’s semifinals later featured Novak Djokovic against Casper Ruud and Alexander Zverev against Stefanos Tsitsipas.With more than half the season still to go, Swiatek has already won as many matches this year as she did in all of 2021.
She also became the seventh player to reach two finals in Rome before turning 21 after Chris Evert, Martina Navratilova, Gabriela Sabatini, Monica Seles, Martina Hingis and Venus Williams.
