Next week's new World No.1 Iga Swiatek bested No.14 seed Coco Gauff for a spot in the Miami Open quarterfinals where Petra Kvitova awaits.
Iga Swiatek swept into the Miami Open quarterfinals Monday for the first time in her career, as the No.2 seed from Poland defeated No.14 seed Coco Gauff 6-3, 6-1 on Stadium Court. Swiatek has now won a career-best 14 straight matches. She's glad she is keeping it up:
“I’m really happy I can keep going. It’s the first time I have a streak like that so I don’t know where my limit is. I try to think there is no limit. Last night was tough doing recovery with such a crazy schedule, it’s tough and stressful, but I am happy I could cut this off and prepare for the match.”
Swiatek is bidding to win a third straight WTA 1000 tournament and become the first player since Victoria Azarenka in 2016 to win the Sunshine Double of Indian Wells and the Miami Open.
