Top-seed Iga Swiatek coasts into semis at BNP Paribas Open
Top-ranked Iga Swiatek breezed past Sorana Cirstea 6-2, 6-3 to reach the semi-finals of the BNP Paribas Open on Thursday.
“I’m happy that I played so intense that I could start both sets well,” Swiatek said. “I’m feeling like I’m handling things pretty well and just playing my game.” Jannik Sinner beat defending champion Taylor Fritz 6-4, 4-6, 6-4 to become the first Italian man to reach the semi-finals of the 47-year-old tournament.
Sinner said he stepped in against Fritz’s serve in the middle of the match and tried to take the ball earlier to throw off the American’s rhythm.
