Swiatek in Semis

ADELAIDE, Jan 7: Fifth seed and defending champion Iga Swiatek booked her place in the Adelaide International semifinals with a three-set 6-3, 2-6, 6-1 win over Victoria Azarenka, here on Friday. Tactical adjustments and her signature competitive instincts enabled No.27-ranked Azarenka to become the first player to win a set from Swiatek in Adelaide. However, the 20-year-old eventually pulled away in the third set as an ailing Azarenka's movement became visibly hampered, and maintains her eight-match winning streak in the South Australian capital.
