Iga Swiatek vs Maria Sakkari: Preview
Iga Swiatek reaches her 3rd semi-final of the season and would be confident knowing that she has won both of her previous semi-finals this season and also the title. Swiatek defeated Elena Rybakina 7-6(5), 6-2 in the quarter-finals to book her spot in the semis and if she is able to clinch the title, she might break into the Top-5 of the WTA rankings.
Maria Sakkari reaches yet another semi-final this season, the 6th of the season but is yet to win a single one so far. She has however been highly consistent this season and will fancy her chances to break the streak against Iga in their semi-final clash. Sakkari defeated local girl Tereza Martincova 7-5, 6-3 in the quarter-finals and similar to Iga, reaches the semi without dropping a set.

Iga Swiatek vs Maria Sakkari: Prediction
Iga will come into the clash with a season record of 33-11 while Maria is 33-15 for the season across all surfaces. While both the players had their moments, both are desperate for a title having met some heartbreaking losses in other competitions this season. However, given their recent forms and performances, Swiatek looks the favourite in what will be a thrilling match.
