Tennis Star Iga Swiatek Matches Serena Williamss 27-Match Win Streak
ROME (AP) — Not since Serena Williams seven years ago has another woman had such a hot streak in tennis.
The best Iga Świątek defeated Aryna Sabalenka 6-2, 6-1 on Saturday to extend her winning streak to 27 games and reach the Italian Open final.
Williams won the same number of consecutive games in 2014 and 2015.
“I constantly surprise myself that I can do better and better,” said Świątek. “I feel like I can now really believe that the sky is the limit. That’s the fun.”
Aiming to defend her title in Rome and win her fifth tournament in a row, Świątek dominated the eighth-ranked Sabalenka with a blend of power, consistency and finesse.
While she sometimes struggled with her serve, Świątek, 20, was able to consistently crush both forehand and backhand winners on the slow red clay court in the Foro Italico. She also hit a delicate backhand half volley winner in the last game of the first set.
Świątek had the same number of winners and unforced errors, 15, while Sabalenka produced only eight winners and committed 31 unforced errors. When it was over, Świątek urged the crowd to cheer louder for her by waving her arms.
“Today I felt like I really understood the clay,” said Świątek.

The tough Sabalenka took a medical time-out late in the second set and had her back treated.
Świątek, who was surprisingly champion at the French Open in 2020 when she was number 54, will be the favorite to add a second title at Roland Garros when the second Grand Slam of the year kicks off next weekend.
But first, Świątek will face Ons Jabeur – who has already won ten matches – or Daria Kasatkina in Sunday’s final.
In the men’s semifinals on Saturday, Novak Djokovic played against Casper Ruud and Alexander Zverev against Stefanos Tsitsipas.
Świątek’s super season is more than just her winning streak.
With more than half of the season to go, Świątek has already won as many games this year (36) as in all of 2021.
She also became the seventh player to reach two finals in Rome before turning 21, after Chris Evert, Martina Navratilova, Gabriela Sabatini, Monica Seles, Martina Hingis and Venus Williams.
