Iga Swiatek & Emma Raducanu
World No.1 Iga Swiatek racked up her 21st successive win as she powered into the Stuttgart semi-finals by beating US Open champion Emma Raducanu in straight sets on Friday.
Swiatek, 20, sealed a 6-4, 6-4 victory to set up a semi-final with Liudmila Samsonova. Both players have yet to drop a set in Stuttgart.
"I know her since we were juniors, I have seen her progress and she is playing with a lot of confidence," Swiatek said of Samsonova who beat Germany's Laura Siegemund 7-5, 6-3 in her quarter-final.
Swiatek made a strong start against Raducanu by breaking the British teenager's serve in the opening game and eventually took the first set.
