Swiatek, Sabalenka Set for High-Stakes Semifinal Battles

Posted : 14 March 2025

Iga Swiatek secured her spot in the Indian Wells semifinals by defeating Zheng Qinwen 6-3, 6-3, avenging her loss to the Chinese player in the Olympic semifinals. The Polish star, aiming to become the first woman to win three titles at the event, will face Mirra Andreeva in the next round, seeking payback for her quarterfinal defeat to the 17-year-old in Dubai.

 

Swiatek, who dominated early rounds with ease, faced a tougher challenge against Zheng but finished strong, breaking serve at love in the final game after a brief rain delay.

 

In the other half of the draw, world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka earned a semifinal spot with a 6-2, 6-3 victory over Liudmila Samsonova. She now faces Madison Keys, who ended Sabalenka’s Australian Open title defense earlier this year.

 

Sabalenka, who recovered from an early break to take full control of her match, expressed her excitement for a rematch against Keys, calling it a chance for "revenge" after her previous disappointment in Melbourne.

 

Andreeva continued her strong form, defeating Elina Svitolina 7-5, 6-3 to set up her highly anticipated clash with Swiatek. Despite her recent win over the Polish star, the young Russian downplayed its significance, emphasizing that Friday's meeting will be a fresh challenge under different conditions.

 

Meanwhile, Keys extended her impressive winning streak to 16 matches, dismantling Belinda Bencic 6-1, 6-1 in just over an hour. As the tournament heads into its final stages, all eyes will be on these blockbuster semifinal battles.
