Swiatek: "You have to be ruthless on the tennis court".
Once again, Iga Swiatek wasted no time against Emma Navarro on Wednesday, losing just three games.
In five matches in Melbourne, the Pole has lost just 14 games.
Commenting on her performance in the press conference, she said: "I'm proud to have done the same job throughout the tournament, always with the same intensity, pushing my opponents from the beginning to the end of my matches.
Today's match was certainly much tougher than the scoreboard shows, so I'm happy to be in the semi-finals.
On the tennis court, you have to be ruthless, even if that word is often understood by people as something negative.
In my case, it simply means concentrating on myself, keeping the same attitude whatever the score; that's very important.
That's what I base my game on; my strength and consistency are the foundations of my game, of everything I do on the court."
Swiatek will face Madison Keys in the semi-finals at the Australian Open.
