Polish tennis star Iga Swiatek to face Naomi Osaka for the Miami Open title after beating American Jessica Pegula in semi-finals
Swiatek sailed through the opening set but had to fight back from an early breakdown in the second. She squandered two match points at 5-4 before sealing victory two games later.
"My second match on the WTA Tour, when I felt I am doing a breakthrough, was against her ," said Swiatek, who will go top of the rankings following Ash Barty's retirement. Osaka, who had not dropped a set in the tournament, then lost her serve in the third game and again in the fifth.
