Iga Swiaatek remained on its track for a fourth consecutive title in the Qatar Open with a victory over Elena Ribakina in the quarter -finals.
In the final repetition of last year in Doha, Swiatek recovered from the collapse in the second group to demand a 6-2 7-5 victory.
Swiaatek became the first woman to have the longest victory chain in the Qatar Open since the championship began in 2001 with 15 consecutive wins.
“I am very happy, very proud of myself,” Al -Qutb said. “The second group felt that it raised its level, so you needed to do so too.”
Rybakina year started with a 4-2 feature in her face to face against Swiaatek, but she is now flat after she followed the second place in winning the United Cup last month with another success.
Swiaatek began the competition better, but Rybakina began to gain strength with its strong crushing and terrestrial strokes at the beginning of the second group, and opened 4-2 progress.
She couldn’t maintain the feature, and Swiatek regained the break before you got victory when Rybakina was exposed to double errors.
He joined the second seed in the last four by Ekaterina Alexandrova.
The Russian, who arrived in Qatar, followed the full confidence after winning the WTA Tour event in Linz, its victory in the second round over Arena Sabalinka in the second round by beating the sixth seed Jessica Peugeot 4-6 6-1 6-1.
