It was a tough, over three-hour battle with Kalia Kanepi for the Australian Open semi-final. The Polish woman lost 4: 6, 0: 1 at one point, but after three sets it was she who could enjoy the victory. “It may not have been the most beautiful match in the history of tennis due to numerous mistakes on both sides, but you have to remember that tennis players competed on the court for over three hours in the murderous heat” -. The next rival of Świątek will be the American, who won 7: 5, 6: 1 with Alize Cornet.
