Swiatek fights into the quarter -finals - favorites continued!

Doha, Katar - iga Swiadek prevailed at the WTA1000 tournament in Doha in a gripping duel against 20-year-old Czech Linda Noskova and secured the move into the quarter-finals. After more than two and a half hours of play, the Polish, which was number two, won 6: 7 (1), 6: 4, 6: 4. This match was particularly challenging for Swiatek, who had to assert herself against a courageous opponent who had already given her a defeat at the Australian Open last year. With this victory, Swiatek remains on course for her fourth title in a row in Doha, after she has won 15 out of 16 matches in this city, such as wta.com reported.

Despite Swiadek's success, the "favorite death" continued at this millions of event. The highly set Italian player Jasmine Paolini lost in the round of the last 16 against Jelena Ostapenko with 2: 6, 2: 6. Already on Tuesday, several top ten players had to delete the sails: Aryna Sabalenka (1) was defeated by Jekaterina Alexandrowa, while Coco Gauff (3) also left Marta Kostjuk. SWIATEK and her next opponent, five -placed Elena Rybakina, give these defeats a unique opportunity to prove herself in the quarter -finals. Rybakina had previously won against Rebecca Sramkova with 7: 6 (1), 6: 2, which promises an exciting exchange of blows in the upcoming encounter, since Rybakina leads the series against Swiatek 4: 3.

The upcoming encounter between Swiatek and Rybakina will not only be a repetition of the previous year's final in Doha, but also a duel between two of the currently strongest players in tennis. Swiatek, who defeated her opponent last season and now won four times Roland Garros, has to prepare for a tough fight, because Rybakina has shown in her previous matches on sand facilities and will give everything to beat Swiatek, such as
