"I'm on a roll and I'm want to use that" - Swiatek after consecutive win number 15

No.2 seed Iga Swiatek notched her 15th consecutive win to advance to the Miami Open semifinals, defeating No.28 seed Petra Kvitova, 6-3, 6-3.

Coming off her back-to-back titles in Doha and Indian Wells, Swiatek has lost a total of 15 games over four matches and has not dropped more than three games in a set in Miami. Her victory over Kvitova was her tour-leading 24th of the season (24-3). She said:

"I want to use the confidence that I built since the beginning of Doha. I think I'm on a roll and I want to use that. Having that kind of streak got pretty tricky, but I'm pretty glad that I could play well, that I'm healthy, and that I can compete against players like Petra. She's a legend."

She further said:

"From the beginning, I knew that I had to keep up with the pace because she plays really fast. I wanted to stay low on my legs and the first serve was the key. I don't know if I had many winners, but I wanted to build up positive energy from her mistakes. I'm glad that I stayed focused and I did the tactics from A to Z."
