Iga Swiatek highlighted she is “aware of what Coco Gauff has been doing” and admitted she expects “a difficult and tight match” against the reigning US Open champion. On Friday, No 2 seed Swiatek recovered from a set down to beat Caroline Garcia 6-7 (8) 7-6 (5) 6-1 win and set up a Beijing semifinal against Gauff.
Meanwhile, Gauff saw off Maria Sakkari 6-2 6-4 for her 16th consecutive win. “I haven’t seen her much, but I’m aware of what she’s doing.

Now we just have to fight and it probably won’t be an easy match. It will be tight,” Swiatek said, via The Tennis Letter.
