Iga Swiatek will take on Maria Sakkari in the title fight for the 2024 BNP Paribas Open. If that sounds familiar, it’s because the last time these two played each other, it was on the same court for the 2022 championship. The current top seed won that match 6-4 6-1, but before that, they were even 2:2 in their head-to-head. The Greek is at this tournament working with new coach David Witt for the first time, and is eager to prove that at 28 years old she still has the best in front of her.
To reach the final, Swiatek defeated Marta Kostyuk 6-2 6-1 in a match that barely extended over an hour.
