Only one match separates Iga Świątek from qualifying for the WTA Grand Final in Madrid. On Thursday night, she will face Russian tennis player Weronika Kudiermietowa and will be the favorite for this competition. Live coverage of the match Świątek – Kudiermietowa on Polsatsport.pl.
Kudermetowa is ranked 13th in the WTA rankings and has faced Świątek three times in her career. The balance sheet of the Russian is very painful, because she did not even win a set in any of these duels. The last time the two players played each other was during this year’s tournament in Qatar. Interestingly, it was also a semi-final, which the leader of the world ranking won 6: 0, 6: 1.

Having won in Stuttgart, the Polish woman is doing admirably in the capital of Spain, as evidenced by only one loss in four skirmishes. In the quarterfinals, our representative defeated Croatian Petra Martić 6: 0, 6: 3.
Kudermetowa, who faced Jessica Pegula, had a much more difficult task in the previous round. The Russian made a real surprise and defeated the third “Rocket” in the world 6: 4, 0: 6, 6: 4.
It is likely that in the second consecutive WTA tournament there will be a final match between Świątek and Aryna Sabalenka. She will face Belarusian-Greek player Maria Sakkari in the second semi-final. The meeting was scheduled for around 16:00, so the Polish woman will already know her potential opponent in the final when she goes to the stadium.
Live coverage of the match Świątek – Kudermietowa from 1 hour. 21:30 in Polsatsport.pl. attention! The meeting start time is subject to change.
