Iga Swiatek (21), the world number one on the women’s tour, had to give up in the quarterfinals against Wimbledon champion Jelena Rybakina (23). She had problems with her right thigh. After 14 consecutive victories in the Foro Italico (tournament victories in 2021 and 2022), the Pole had to admit defeat for the first time. She gave up when the score was 6:3, 6:7 (3:7), 2:2.
Swiatek suffered the injury in rainy and cool conditions on the penultimate point of the tiebreaker. After an injury break, the world number one returned to the field with a bandaged thigh, tested her running skills for four games, but finally gave up after 2:20.
The Pole has ten days to recover from the injury before the French Open starts. In the semifinals, Rybakina will meet the number 20 seeded Latvian Jelena Ostapenko (25). After the Australian Open and Indian Wells, the Kazakh celebrated the third victory in the fourth game against Swiatek. (NSA/SDA)
