Coco Gauff arrived on the court on Thursday ready to dominate at the Mutua Madrid Open semifinals. The American tennis star faced Iga Swiatek, notably the Queen of Clay and an opponent Gauff has struggled against in her career.

Swiatek hasn't won any titles since last year's French Open and she didn't hide at the start of the clay season that she was hoping to quickly change that. So far, it hasn't happened for the 23-year-old, who still has the Rome Open before kicking off her French Open title defense.

Coco Gauff overpowered defending champion Iga Swiatek to reach the Madrid Open singles final for the first time.
