I'm doing a good job in handling pressure, says Swiatek

PARIS : World number one Iga Swiatek believes she is doing a good job at handling expectations as she continues her bid to win a second French Open title.

Women's Matches Less Appealing At French Open, Says Tournament Director Amelie Mauresmo

French Open tournament director Amelie Mauresmo said on Wednesday that women's matches had less appeal than men's at Roland Garros, an opinion dismissed as "surprising and disappointing" by world number one Iga Swiatek. Of the 10 night sessions at this year's tournament, only one has featured a women's tie when home player Alize Cornet faced Jelena Ostapenko in the second round. "In this era that we are in right now, and as a woman, a former woman's player, I don't feel bad or unfair saying you have more attraction, more attractivity -- can you say that? Appeal? -- for the men's matches," said Mauresmo, a former world number one and a two-time Grand Slam champion.

Swiatek says 'sky's the limit' ahead of French Open semi-final

Iga Swiatek said on Wednesday that "the sky is the limit" as she looks to extend her 33-match winning streak and reach the French Open final. The 2020 Roland Garros champion faces Russian Daria Kasatkina in the last four on Thursday, with the winner to face either Coco Gauff or Martina Trevisan -- who meet in the second semi-final -- in Saturday's showpiece match. Polish star Swiatek has climbed from world number seven to the top of the rankings on the back of a remarkable unbeaten run which has seen her win five successive tournaments, including four WTA 1,000 titles.
