Sabalenka defeats Swiatek to reach the final!

This victory will do Aryna Sabalenka a world of good.

The Belarusian has been lacking in confidence for several weeks now, and is now having the perfect tournament in Cincinnati.

Having reached the semi-finals without dropping a set, the world number 3 impressed on Sunday.

Facing Iga Swiatek, Sabalenka gave the world no. 1 no chance (6-3, 6-3).

Despite a burst of pride at the end of the match, when she came within a whisker of reigniting the suspense of the match, the Pole will not see the final, and that's only logical.

For her part, the 26-year-old will be playing in her first Tour final since the WTA 1000 in Rome.

In what will be her 5th final in 2024, she will be looking to add a second title to the one she won at the Australian Open in January.

Opposite her will be Jessica Pegula, already crowned champion in Toronto last week.
