MADRID-. Iga Swiatek made a splash by dispatching Madison Keys in straight sets to reach the final of the Madrid Open for the second consecutive year.
The world number one swept the 20th ranked team 6-1, 6-3 in the semifinals.
The one in Madrid is the only one of the major tournaments on the European clay tour that the Polish star has not been able to conquer.
It will be the third final of the year for Swiatek after winning in Indian Wells and Doha.
For the title, she will face the world number two Aryna Sabalenka or the fourth Elena Rybakina.
Sabalenka defeated Swiatek in the final in Madrid last year.
