Fierce battle going on right now between Collins and Swiatek - great battle of defence - what a backhand she has Swiatek

Collins withdrew after a medical timeout and behind 0-3 in second set - she had no weapons good enough today against the powerhouse Swiatek.One match remaining so keep watching if you're watching at all

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Swiatek wins by retirement over Dannielle Collins 63 3-0..........Collins suffered a lower back injury

Last Q/F match

B.Bencic vs S.Sanders

Bencic the last quarterfinalist - but Sanders can be proud of her resistance - she made Bencic work hard for the victory

This duel was fantastic - watch Bencic return facing the wall -epic

Swiatek continues her powerhouse tennis even better than against Collins . Teichmann does her best

 

[Hoergren]

Swiatek first player in her FIRST WTA final - think about that - well found out she has been in a WTA final in Palermo - think it was 2019 - sorry. Maybe a final against another teen. When did that happen last time - think we have to go back to Charlston in 2017 where another powerhouse Ostapenko won against Kasatkina - could be fun to watch her against CoCo. IGotyA - get it

 

[Hoergren]

Going three - COCO gets back from 4-1 down in second set and wins the tiebreak

And Bencic managed to get through but kudos to Coco for great fight but she was tired in the end - she'll get her time.

 

[Hoergren]

Final tomorrow not before 18.00 local time
