The world number one extended her winning streak to eleven matches after her tenth career win against the American.
Swiatek is aiming for a third title in Rome and a second consecutive title after her victory in Rome.
I really enjoyed playing today, as well. I’m just proud of myself. I enjoyed all of my matches here. I just didn’t say that before. I don’t know. It’s nice to play a semifinal against a top player, kind of feel like you can play your game and enjoy that.
“Even though it wasn’t easy, I felt like I can play my kind of tennis. Because of that, it was really nice. I’ll just focus on being present.”
Winning breeds confidence and that couldn’t be more true for Swiatek so far as she has the opportunity to hold the three biggest clay court titles.
However since her win in Madrid, Swiatek had admitted she hasn’t had time to analyze the significance of her performances as she has her eyes on the future, “Honestly, I didn’t have much time to analyze it and to think about it,” Swiatek reflected.
“It’s like you win a tournament and you go straightaway to another place. It’s hard to sometimes really think about the past when you constantly have to focus on the future.
