No stopping Iga Swiatek as she sets up French Open semi-final clash with Daria Kasatkina

Iga Swiatek sailed into the French Open semi-finals after beating Jessica Pegula 6-3, 6-2 at Roland Garros on Wednesday.

The Pole continued her seemingly unstoppable march to a second Grand Slam title by sweeping aside the American 11th seed and extending her win streak to 33 matches.

Swiatek will equal Venus Williams' record for the longest unbeaten run for a women's player in the 21st century if she secures another Roland Garros crown this week.

Behind the 21-year-old top seed, Pegula was the highest ranked player left in the tournament. Daria Kasatkina, seeded 20th, meets Swiatek in the last four after her 6-4, 7-6, win over Veronika Kudermetova.

Swiatek, who won the Paris title in 2020, said: “The atmosphere is great. I’m pretty happy I can play here and I’ve had so many matches because it’s always a great experience on Philippe-Chatrier.

“It’s always nervous but sometimes stress is a positive thing that can make you more active, more tense, so I try to use it.

“She was playing very low so to be good I had to be low on my legs. It was the key and I'm pretty happy I was playing with a good dynamic to push her back a little bit.
