Andreeva, 17, ended Swiatek’s 10-match Indian Wells winning streak, beating the Polish star for the second time in three weeks after toppling her in the quarter-finals at Dubai. She’ll have a shot at claiming another prestigious title on Sunday when she takes on World No.1 Aryna Sabalenka.
Reflecting on her win, Andreeva said, “I felt that I was dealing with the nerves and the pressure pretty well, so I just feel proud of myself.”
Meanwhile, Sabalenka avenged her Australian Open loss to Madison Keys by thrashing her 6-0, 6-1.
“I was just really hungry to get this win against Madison. I think tactically I played really great tennis” said a jubilant Sabalenka.
