Iga Swiatek finished off the round-robin stage of the
WTA Finals with a straight-sets win over Coco Gauff setting another record.
The Polish player finished the 'group' stage of the event with zero losses and she didn't drop a single set in all those wins. She became the 9th player to not drop a single set in the early part of the event since the current format was re-introduced in 2003:
“I’m pretty happy to have this record. Last year I wouldn’t have even dreamed of it. I am happy with my progress, I feel confident right now, consistent and could keep my focus."
Her semi-final clash will be against Aryna Sabalenka, a player that gave her a lot of trouble at the US Open recently but Swiatek won it regardless:
“The match with Sabalenka will be a great fight so I hope I can keep my level, do my best and just focus on myself.”
