Unstoppable Iga Swiatek Charges into Cincinnati Final

Iga Swiatek showcased her tenacity on Sunday by defeating Elena Rybakina 7-5 6-3, securing her spot in the Cincinnati Open final for the first time. The third seed polished off the match after a slow start but proved her dominance by winning 10 of the last 13 games.
