Swiatek win streak to 33 in Paris; reminds Pegula of Barty

Associated Press  

PARIS — Jessica Pegula reached the French Open quarterfinals before running into can’t-seem-to-lose Iga Swiatek on Wednesday. And four months ago, at the year’s first Grand Slam tournament, Pegula reached the Australian Open quarterfinals before running into eventual champion Ash Barty. Swiatek, who replaced Barty atop the WTA rankings, benefited from the chair umpire’s no-call on a double bounce that gave her a first-set service break during a key five-game run and moved into the semifinals at Roland Garros by beating Pegula 6-3, 6-2 to extend her winning streak to 33 matches. “Mentally, that’s also what they do so well and what I’ve been trying to do better.” On a sunny afternoon at Court Philippe Chatrier, with the temperature above 70 degrees Fahrenheit, Swiatek’s start was so-so for the second match in a row, although she did wind up with nearly twice as many winners as Pegula, 30 to 16.
