The Pole continues to chain an impressive winning streak and caresses the Parisian final
Swiatek got rid of the American Pegula in an hour and a half by 6-3 and 6-2
The express Iga Swatek seems unstoppable and after adding his 33rd consecutive victory, against the American Jessica Pegula, 6-3 and 6-2 in one hour and 29 minutes, he qualified for the second time in his career for the semifinals of Roland Garros.
The number 1 in the world, the great favorite, has no limits this season, in which he is destroying everything. Her winning streak is already the third longest in history, having surpassed the one completed in 2008 by the Belgian Justine Henin.
Only the Williams sisters remain ahead: Serena, who in 2013 chained 34 wins and Venus, who in 2000 added 35 without defeat.
One day after celebrating her 21st birthday, the 2020 Roland Garros winner has a chance of matching her best streak if she lifts the trophy next Saturday.
Before she will have to beat the Russian Daria Kasatkina, 20 in the world, who will play her first semifinals of a Grand Slam this Thursday after having defeated her compatriot Veronika Kudermetova, 29th in the ranking.
The other semifinal will measure, also on Thursday, the Italian Martina Trevisan with the American Coco Gauff, both neophytes in that round of the competition in a Grand Slam.
