Tennis: Iga Świątek keeps dominating Indian Wells

Iga Swiatek won the quarter-final of the WTA Indian Wells tournament, 6:2, 6:3 against Sorana Cîrstea from Romania. The world No.1 female tennis player is now one step closer to defending her title.

At the beginning of the first set Cîrstea, who was losing 2:0, managed to break Świątek’s serve and moments later bring the match to a 2:2 tie. After that, the Pole made quick work of her rival and won all the subsequent games.

The Romanian later in the second set, won three games in quick succession, again breaking Świątek’s serve. However, it was far too little to threaten the Pole.
