Poland Iga Swiatek: World No. 5 from Poland Iga Swiatek reached her fourth consecutive Roland Garros semifinal and extended her winning streak in Paris to 26 matches after dispatching Ukraine’s Elina Svitolina 6-1, 7-5 in a compelling quarterfinal clash.

With the victory, Swiatek became only the fifth player in the Open Era — male or female — to notch 25 or more consecutive singles wins at the French Open, joining the elite company of Rafael Nadal, Chris Evert, Bjorn Borg, and Monica Seles.

“It looks straightforward, but it wasn’t,” Swiatek admitted after the match. “I had to fight for every point, especially in the second set when she broke me. I’m proud I kept my intensity till the end.”
