Tennis

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Top-ranked Iga Swiatek stayed undefeated against Coco Gauff, beating the American teenager 6-4, 6-2 on Friday to reach the final at the Dubai Championships.

The three-time Grand Slam champion improved to 6-0 against the 18-year-old Gauff, and each victory has been in straight sets. The Polish player beat Gauff in last year’s French Open final.

“One more to go. Will put all my heart into it,” Swiatek tweeted.

Swiatek will face Barbora Krejcikova, the 2021 French Open champion, in the Saturday final.

Krejcikova beat No. 3 Jessica Pegula of the U.S. 6-1, 5-7, 6-0 in the other semifinal on Friday.

Swiatek retained her Qatar Open title last week.
