World No 1 Iga Swiatek stormed into the final of the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships with a straight-sets 6-4 6-2 victory over American teenager Coco Gauff on Friday evening.
The 22-year-old Polish star, who is looking for a first title in Dubai in her first final, has not lost to Gauff, 18, in six career meetings.
A three-time Grand Slam winner who recently won the Qatar Open title, Swiatek has looked in imperious form all week despite making a first appearance on the new DecoTurf courts at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Stadium.
En route to the final, Swiatek defeated Leylah Fernandez 6-1-6-1, Ludmilla Samsonova 6-1 6-0 and received a walkover from Karolina Pliskova in the quarterfinals.
