World number two Iga Swiatek snapped American Coco Gauff's 16-match winning run with a dominant 6-2 6-3 victory on Saturday to move into the China Open final, where she will meet Russian Liudmila Sams
Gauff had beaten Swiatek in their last meeting in the semi-finals at Cincinnati to end a seven-match losing run against the Pole before going on to capture her maiden Grand Slam title at the U.S. Open and arrive in Beijing in red-hot form.
"I'll remember for the rest of my career that even though tougher times may come, in your mind, you can always overcome that. With hard work, you can achieve it. Swiatek put early pressure on Gauff in the next set and surged to 2-0 with an early break before her American opponent held serve and took a medical timeout to address a niggling shoulder problem.
