Swiatek was ranked fourth, one place above Pegula. But the difference seemed vast as the Polish player took just 67 minutes to win 6-1, 6-2. Swiatek’s impressive form bodes well for the upcoming French Open, which she has won four times. She will next face either Elena Rybakina or Elina Svitolina, who are both also former Rome champions. In the men’s quarterfinals, 19-year-old Rafael Jodar of Spain was playing Luciano Darderi of Italy later. The winner will face either Casper Ruud or Karen Khachanov in the final four. \\\_ AP tennis:
