As for Iga Swiatek, she dispatched Rebecca Sramkova, Emma Raducanu, Jacqueline Cristian and Elena Rybakina before getting the better of Elina Svitolina in the last-eight stage.

Swiatek holds the clear advantage in the head-to-head record. She has won eight of the 12 matches played between her and Sabalenka, while the Belarusian has just won four. This is also because of Swiatek's overall dominance earlier, but things have changed somewhat recently. Let's see how it goes tonight.

The two players arrive on court and after the customary pre-match knocking, it is love all, play. Swiatek serves first in the opening set and Sabalenka immediately garners two break points. Swiatek double faults under pressure, and the world number one is up and away with an ideal start.

Sabalenka broke Swiatek again to race away to a 3-0 lead. But the Polish former world no. 1 bounces back with a break of her own to reduce the deficit. She needs to break Sabalenka at least once more to stand a chance in this set, however.

The two feisty players are not giving an inch. Close calls are being contested, stares being exchanged and balls being scruffed up against the clay. The scoreline now is 4-3 in the first set, with Sabalenka still up a break of serve.

This is such a see-saw battle. Sabalenka breaks Swiatek at 5-5 to serve for the set, but the defending champion breaks right back to force a tie-break. Sabalenka leads it 4-1 as of now.

Sabalenka wins the tie-break 7-1 to take the first set 7-6. She would not have expected to have to fight so hard after breaking Swiatek twice straight away, but the former world no. 1 has shown she's up for a scrap. Can Swiatek force a decider?

Swiatek has taken the lead in the second set with a break of serve advantage. She is up 3-2 and serving, hoping to hold all her serves from here to draw level in the encounter.

Iga Swiatek conjures a remarkable turnaround, winning the second set 6-4 to level things up and force a decider. This one will go right down to the wire. Stay with us.
