The new, faster surface was to cause trouble going on Świątek in Indian Wells, and in the meantime it goes like a storm. She probably defeated Carolina Garcia, Dajana Jastremska, Karolina Muchova and Qinwen Zheng. The Polish woman quickly acclimatized in California and there are effects on the court.
We know the hour of the semi -final of Świątek
Mirra Andrejew will be another rival of Christmas. The young Russian is set up in this tournament with number nine. The organizers decided that this duel would be the first female semi -final played in this tournament.
Świątek and Andrejew will go to the court on Friday to Saturday, at the earliest at midnight Polish time. Earlier, two doubles matches will be played on the central court. Aryna Sabalenenko and Ludmiła Samsonowa in the second semi -final will play after Christmas.
For Świątek, the match against Andrejew will be an opportunity for a rematch for a defeat in the semi -final in Dubai less than a month ago. That match was not good by the Polish tennis player. She often hurried too much with playing and closing the action, thus making even simple mistakes. She couldn't catch a good rhythm even when she led in the second set. Andrejew played a great meeting, and it was her first semi -final of the WTA 1000 rank tournament. Ultimately, the Russian won in two sets 6: 3, 6: 3, she beat Świątek for the first time. Andrejew later won in the final with Clara Tauson, collecting the first “Tysięcznik” in her career.
There is a 1: 1 draw in the history of Świątek duels with Andrejew. The Polish woman won last year in the quarter -finals in Cincinnati in three sets 4: 6, 6: 3, 7: 5.
Let us remind you that Iga Świątek defends the title in Indian Wells, which she won last year. The Polish woman has a chance for a third triumph in California in her career.
