Coco Gauff will take on Iga Swiatek in the semi-finals of the China Open after continuing her winning streak in Beijing.<\/p>\n

The US Open champion made it 16 victories in a row with a straightforward 6-2 6-4 success against Greek Maria Sakkari, who saw her late charge to qualify for the WTA Finals end.<\/p>\n

Second seed Swiatek had a tougher time against Caroline Garcia but fought back from a set down to defeat the Frenchwoman 6-7 (8) 7-6 (5) 6-1.<\/p>\n

Swiatek won her first seven matches against Gauff without dropping a set but the American turned the tables in the semi-finals of the Western & Southern Open in Cincinnati in August prior to lifting her maiden grand slam title.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverybody who plays her, no matter the game style, you have to be prepared to run and just be ready for everything,\u201d said Gauff.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s in the position she is for a reason, she\u2019s one of the best players in the world for a reason, and I\u2019m just going to go out there and hopefully do a similar result to Cincinnati. If not, I\u2019m really proud\u00a0 of the way that I\u2019ve been doing to get to the semi-finals so far.\u201d<\/p>\n

Swiatek was twice within two points of defeat against Garcia, and she said: \u201cFor sure it was really intense. We played really fast. There was no time sometimes to think or analyse. I\u2019m happy I used my intuition a lot.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn both of these first sets, every ball counted. I\u2019m happy that in the third I could just go for it.\u201d<\/p>\n
