Iga Swiatek comfortably moved into the final of the Qatar TotalEnergies Open with a 6-0 6-1 victory over Veronika Kudermetova. This entire week in Doha, the defending champion spent less than two hours on the court.
The world No.1 Swiatek is yet to spend more than one hour in a single match at the 2023 Qatar TotalEnergies Open. After a first-round bye, the top seed defeated Danielle Collins in 53 minutes in the second round, then Belinda Bencic gave her a walkover, and Veronika Kudermetova detained her just 56 minutes in Friday’s semifinals.
