Zheng Qinwen Stops Swiatek’s Winning Streak
Swiatek’s Streak Ends: Iga Swiatek of Poland noticed her magnificent prevailing streak of 25 games on the clay floor come to a cease. In the Olympic semi-finals hung on the well-known Paris clay at Roland Garros, China’s Zheng Qinwen defeated Swiatek with a scoreline of 6-2, 7-5.
Swiatek, aged 23 years old and winner of three consecutive French Opens, was expected to win gold for her country in style. Losing such a match was particularly tough for the player who has dominated tennis courts made from clay. Afterward, she seemed upset when she spoke to broadcasters but did not talk with print media as allowed by Olympic rules.

One Iga Swiatek and setting herself up for another shot at glory — this time against Croatian thirteenth seed Donna Vekic whom she will meet in the gold medal match following Vekic’s victory over Anna Karolina Schmiedlova from Slovakia (6-4, 6-0).
