World no.1 player Iga Swiatek, who created history by winning the Indian Wells event, is currently eyeing for the Miami Open crown.  The Polish star is enjoying an unstoppable run in Miami as she breezed past Viktorija Golubic and Madison Brengle to reach the pre-quarters.

Swiatek will face the young American Coco Gauff in the round of 16 on Monday and going by their head-to-head record, the Pole appears to be the clear favorite. But, Gauff is playing in-front of her home crowd as this might present a decisive advantage to the rising star.

Swiatek looks to continue her winning run against Coco Gauff

Iga is put of against the 18-year-old  Coco Gauff for the upcoming quest to quarterfinals. Gauff, who is the youngest player to enter inside the top-100 of women’s singles rankings, has taken a liking for the Miami conditions as she herself accepted it post victory against Wang Qiang.

“I like training in the heat. One of my strength is my fitness. I feel like my endurance can go long in the heat so obviously for me the hotter the better,” the American admitted.

Gauff’s likings might double the concerns of Iga Swiatek about not having enough rest heading into a crucial match. However, the Polish star is riding her best form and has had 13 straight wins and therefore will come to the ground with a will to keep the momentum going .
