Swiatek and Bencic will fight for the title in Adelaide

The Polish Iga Swiatek and the Swiss Belinda Bencic will play the final of the Adelaide tournament (Australia), which is played on a hard surface.

Swiatek, fifth favorite of the tournament, beat the Swiss Jil Teichmann 6-3 6-2 with relative ease in an hour and 21 minutes.

More than twice the time it took Bencic, 2 hours and 48 minutes, to defeat the very young American (16 years old) Cori Gauff by three sets, 7-6 (2), 6-7 (4) and 6-2.

The Polish, Roland Garros champion, will look for what would be the second title of her fledgling career (19 years), while Bencic, 23 years old, will attack what may be his fifth wound.
