A COMPLETE performance from @ElinaSvitolina 😳 The top seed knocks off the last 11 games in a row to reach the semifinals in Chicago! #ChiTennisFestival
Svitolina breezes past Mladenovic in clinical fashion to reach semi-finals at Chicago Women's Open

Elina Svitolina will face off against Rebecca Peterson in the semi-finals of the Chicago Women's Open tomorrow after a clinical 6-1, 6-0 victory over Kristina Mladenovic.
Svitolina reeled off 11 games in a row and made up for lost time after her match was delayed due to Peterson's win over Teresa Martincova which ended up with a retirement for the Czech ace in the final set when the victor was 4-1 up.
The No.1 seed produced four aces, 89% winning percentage on her 1st serve as well as serving out 5/8 of break point opportunities.
In the other semi-final in Chicago, it will be Alize Cornet who saw off Marketa Vondrousova earlier against either Marta Kostyuk or Varvara Gracheva with an all Ukrainian final possible if the former wins through and Svitolina does the same against Peterson.

AceOfBase10-11-2024 - Zheng v Gauff the best final we could get. Both were and remain in top form the last few weeks. Queenwen even the whole year almost. If she finds her aces she's a contender. If not, Gauff's gonna take it.MrAndreeva08-11-2024

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
