Not since Serena Williams seven years ago has another woman had such a hot streak in tennis
ROME —.
Top-ranked Iga Świątek routed Aryna Sabalenka 6–2, 6–1 on Saturday to extend her winning streak to 27 matches and reach the Italian Open final.“I’m just constantly surprising myself that I can do better and better,” Świątek said. “I feel like I actually can believe now that the sky’s the limit. That’s the fun part.”
Aiming to defend her Rome title and win her fifth straight tournament, Świątek dominated the eighth-ranked Sabalenka with a mix of power, consistency and finesse. While she struggled with her serve at times, Świątek, 20, was able to consistently crush both forehand and backhand winners on the slow red-clay court at the Foro Italico. She also hit a delicate backhand half-volley winner in the final game of the first set.
Świątek had the same number of winners and unforced errors, 15, while Sabalenka produced just eight winners and had 31 unforced errors. When it was over, Świątek urged the crowd to cheer louder for her by waving her arms.
