Swiatek, who reached the last four in a walkover after
Karolina Pliskova withdrew because of an illness, is 5-0 against Gauff and beat
the 18-year-old American in last year’s French Open final. Gauff is yet to win
a set against the three-time Grand Slam champion.
The fifth-seeded Gauff relied on her steady serve and
capitalized on Keys’ mistakes in their all-American quarterfinal match. Keys
committed 51 unforced errors.
Barbora Krejcikova upset second-ranked Aryna Sabalenka 0-6,
7-6 (2), 6-1. Sabalenka, the Australian Open champion, was on a 13-match
winning streak and led 3-1 in the second set before Krejcikova’s comeback. It
was Sabalenka’s first loss this season.
Krejcikova, the 2021 French Open champion, will face Jessica
Pegula of the United States in the semifinals. Pegula, who is ranked No. 3,
advanced by a walkover after Karolina Muchova withdrew because of an abdominal
injury. -AP
