World No 1 Iga Swiatek eased past Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova to set up a semi-final meeting with Coco Gauff at the the Western & Southern Open in Cincinnati. Swiatek overcame a tricky opening set before racing to a 7-6 6-1 victory over Vondrousova in a clash between the last two Grand Slam winners, with the world No 1 breaking the Wimbledon champion five times and saved four of six break points to seal victory in 91 minutes.
Vondrousova enjoyed an ideal start and dropped only three points on serve by the time she built a 5-3 lead and served for the set twice, but she was denied both times by Swiatek before the Pole ran away with the tie-breaker.
