14th Foro win sends Iga into Rybakina showdown

Iga Swiatek cut down Donna Vekic 6-3, 6-4 on Tuesday to win her 14th straight match at the Rome Masters, setting up a showdown with fellow Grand Slam winner Elena Rybakina.

The top seed took 96 minutes to move into the quarter-final against the reigning Wimbledon winner.

Poland’s world No. 1 has lifted the last two Rome trophies and last lost a set here in 2021; she is currently enjoying a 24-set winning run..

Swiatek beat Croat Vekic for the fourth time in a match delayed a day after rain on Monday.

Swiatek and Rybakina will square off for the third time this season, with the Kazakh scoring victories at the Australian Open and Indian Wells.
