Iga Swiatek dropped just three games as she breezed past Emma Navarro to reach the Australian Open semi-finals and continue her bid for a maiden Melbourne title.<\/b><\/p>\n
Five-time major winner Swiatek was ruthless in a 6-1 6-2 victory over eighth seed Navarro.<\/p>\n
Swiatek has dropped just 14 games at Melbourne Park this year – and seven of those came in her first-round match.<\/p>\n
The Pole will face Madison Keys in the last four after the American came from a set down to beat Elina Svitolina.<\/p>\n
Keys will need to be at her big-hitting best to beat Swiatek, who was dominant against the highly rated Navarro.<\/p>\n
Swiatek broke to love in the match’s first service game and wrapped up the opening set inside 36 minutes.<\/p>\n
However, there was controversy at 2-2 in the second set when the umpire did not spot a double bounce at a crucial moment.<\/p>\n
The ball bounced twice before Swiatek, with the advantage on her serve, flicked over a winner, but umpire Eva Asderaki-Moore missed it.<\/p>\n
Navarro protested but was unable to use the video technology review – which would have shown a replay of the footage – because she had carried on playing the point, instead of stopping it.<\/p>\n
Swiatek subsequently broke in the next game and ran away with the match to match her best result at Melbourne Park.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
