The Polish Iga Swiatek, world No.1, qualified for the semi-finals of the Stuttgart tournament by dominating the British Emma Raducanu, while the world No.2, the Belarusian Aryna Sabalenka, fell in the quarterfinals against the Czech Marketa Vondrousova, Friday. The first important meeting of the season on clay for women, the Stuttgart tournament brings together eight of the ten best players in the WTA rankings.
Double title holder, Iga Swiatek has still not lost a single match on the clay of Stuttgart, and has only conceded two sets, one in 2022 and one in 2023. For a third consecutive final in Stuttgart, Swiatek will be opposed in the semi-finals to the Kazakh Elena Rybakina, world No.4 who defeated the Italian Jasmine Paolini (6-3, 5-7, 6-3).
After being broken from the start, the two-time defending champion at Roland-Garros, where she won three times, immediately took Raducanu's service, then was uncompromising on her play against the British, winner of the US Open in 2021 but fell to 303rd place in the world. After winning the first set in the tie-break, she broke from the start in the second set to win in less than two hours 7-6 (7/2), 6-3.
In the other half of the table, Belarusian Aryna Sabalenka lost against Czech Marketa Vondrousova. Finalist at Roland-Garros in 2019 and titled at Wimbledon in 2023, Vondrousova dominated the winner of the first Grand Slam of the season, in Australia at the end of January. In the semi-finals, the world No.8 will face the young Ukrainian Marta Kostyuk (21 years old), who won a bitter battle against Coco Gauff, world No.3, crowned at the US Open in 2023 and semi-finalist of the 'Australian Open this season.
In three sets (3-6, 6-4, 7-6 (8/6)) and almost three hours of play, Kostyuk ended the match in the tie-break of the third set after having missed seven match points ( including four in a row in the deciding game), to take revenge on Gauff who eliminated her in the quarter-final in Melbourne at the end of January.
