Nobody runs as much as Iga Swiatek, and we are not talking about the kilometers traveled on the court, but the vertigo with which he liquidates his matches.

Italian Martina Trevisan accomplished more than anyone else, holding on for an hour and 18 minutes in the quarterfinals, before following the same cruel fate as many who have encountered the emerging Polish tennis player.

Among them, an illustrious victim, the Romanian Simona Halep, champion of the tournament in 2018 and former world number 1, whom he fired on Sunday with a harvest of only three games.

Similar luck ran in the semifinals Nadia Podoroska, who left with a 6-2 and 6-1, in one hour and 10 minutes.

Great tournament for Argentina, in any case: it entered from the previous one and will look among the 50 best as of Monday.

Swiatek unleashed a gale from the start, with the forcefulness of his baseline game, always on the court, distributing to both sides, without room for hesitation.

The 19-year-old tennis player from Warsaw will be the seventh unseeded player to reach the final of the tournament this Saturday.

Shocking figures

His step is martial: he has not yielded a single set on the way and, in his second appearance in the final table of the tournament, where he had not passed the round of 16, few dare to discard his options in an unprecedented final, where they will be seen with Sofia Kenin, champion this year in Australia, or Petra Kvitova, double winner at Wimbledon.

Podoroska, who had aroused the logical enthusiasm in Argentina, accompanied by Diego Schwartzman in the men's semifinals, could do little to contain the momentum of Swiatek, who moved with the same success and speed as the rest of the games.

He got 23 winners, with which he already has 150 in this competition.

And he made five new

breaks

, for a total of 32.

For now, he is already assured of jumping to 24th place on Monday, after starting the tournament at 54th.

"I wanted to play this game as if it were the first to lower the pressure," said the winner.

She is the second Polish woman to play in the final of the tournament, after Jadwiga Jedrzejowska, runner-up in 1939.
