World number one Iga Swiatek racked up her 60th win of the season yesterday with a three-set victory over Russian Ekaterina Alexandrova to advance to the Ostrava WTA final.
French and US Open champion Swiatek won 7-6 (7/5), 2-6, 6-4 and equalled Caroline Wozniacki, the last player to win 60 matches in a single season in 2017.
Barbora Krejcikova also needed three sets to make the final, surviving a 17-ace barrage from Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina to triumph 3-6, 7-6 (74), 6-4 in two hours and 21 minutes.
Former French Open champion Krejcikova, who captured the Tallinn title last weekend, is on an eight-match winning streak.
