No. 1 Iga Swiatek of Poland will play for her second Grand Slam title on Saturday.
A confident Sabalenka grabbed the first set off, attacking the top-seeded player with her powerful groundstrokes and dominant serve. She finished the set winning 75% of first serve points and getting broken only once.
In the second set, Swiatek stormed out winning the first eight points to create a 2-0 lead. She was teeing off of Sabalenka’s second serve with strong backhands and was running down all of the Belarusian’s big shots, forcing the match to head to a third set. To kick off the third set, a gritty Sabalenka grabbed a quick 2-0 lead, which was extended to 4-2 but could not keep her foot on the pedal as Swiatek came back to secure the set and match.
