MADRID (AP) — Iga Swiatek cruised to a straight-set win over Madison Keys to reach the Madrid Open final for the second consecutive year on Thursday.
Top-ranked Swiatek beat 20th-ranked Keys 6-1, 6-3 in the semifinals.
The Madrid Open is the only high-profile European clay competition that Swiatek has yet to win.
It will be the third final of the year for Swiatek after titles in Indian Wells and Doha.
She will face world No. 2 Aryna Sabalenka or No. 4 Elena Rybakina.
Sabalenka defeated Swiatek in the Madrid final last year.
