Paris (AP) – The world number one Iga Swiatek has continued her winning streak and is in the semifinals of the French Open. The 21-year-old Pole won in Paris one day after her birthday against Jessica Pegula from the USA 6:3, 6:2 and thus celebrated her 33rd success in a row.
In the round of four, Swiatek will face Russian tennis player Darja Kassatkina this Thursday. The 25-year-old won in the quarterfinals against her compatriot Veronika Kudermetowa 6: 4, 7: 6 (7: 5) and reached the semifinals of a Grand Slam tournament for the first time in her career.
In the other semi-final duel, the American Coco Gauff and Martina Trevisan from Italy also face each other on Thursday. Angelique Kerber was the last German to drop out in the third round.
