A Polish clash full of emotions. Chwalińska defeated Świątek in two sets

Iga Świątek had to take a medical break when she lost 6-5 in the first set. She later continued the match with a bandaged left thigh, but had difficulty putting weight on her leg for the rest of the match. She struggled to catch up with the balls on the other side of the court.

Never before have two Polish tennis players reached the semi-finals of the WTA 1000 competition, which was introduced in 2009. My peers from the junior national team played against each other for the first time in the WTA series. Their only official fight so far took place at an ITF event in Stockholm on November 3, 2016. Świątek won then - 6:2, 6:3.

For the second time in her career, Chwalińska faced a player from the top ten in the ranking. In June, she lost to Russian Mirra Andreeva in the French Open final.

In the final, Chwalińska will face the representative of Great Britain. Sonay Kartal defeated Latvian Jelena Ostapenko 7-6 (11-9), 7-6 (7-5) in the semifinals.
