US Open
World number one easily in the quarter-finals
Tennis world number one Iga Swiatek continues to strive for her sixth Grand Slam tournament victory at the US Open.
The 23-year-old Polish player beat Russia's Lyudmila Samsonova 6:4, 6:1 in the round of 16 and is still without a set loss in the tournament. Swiatek will now face the sixth seeded American Jessica Pegula in the round of the best eight in New York.
"Better from day to day"
"It wasn't easy to find my rhythm at the start of the tournament. But it feels like I'm getting better every day," said the 2022 title winner after her victory.
Swiatek showed no flaws on her own serve and didn't allow her opponent a break point. At 5:4 in the first set, she took the service from Samsonova for the first time and also managed to break again straight away at the start of the second round. After 1:30 hours, she converted the match point.
