Upcoming World No.1 Iga Swiatek fought past Jessica Pegula to remain undefeated at WTA 1000 events this season and set up a Miami Open championship match against Naomi Osaka.
No.2 seed Swiatek of Poland is now into her first Miami Open final, and her third consecutive WTA 1000 final overall. Swiatek needed an hour and 48 minutes to outlast No.16 seed Pegula, the last American standing in singles at the Miami Open. She said:
"Even though it's the middle of the night, I feel like I'm going to get some time to chill out today, because it was a really intense match and I had to give everything."
It doesn't get any easier as Swiatek will face a resurgent Naomi Osaka who found her tennis this week not far from where she grew up learning to play tennis. Asked about that, Swiatek said:
"I am excited for sure [about facing Osaka in the final], but on the other hand for me, the most important job is this is a match like any other. I don't want to change my routines, I don't want to change my attitude, because it's been working out pretty well. I'm going to treat it like any other match."

- A lot of top players with injuries now. Could be a coincidence. Still we have a lot of big tournaments in 4/5 months.
AceOfBase06-05-2024 - Iga never gets an easy draw in any tournament she plays. So that statement is far from the truth. Sabalenka has difficulty because all she wants to do is stand up and serve. She is not a tennis player. If she gets the opponents Iga have, she would be ousted earlier.crissy06-05-2024
