Madison Keys: "I think Iga is tough to beat because she has a lot of spin kind of naturally on both sides. She's a good server. She's a good returner. She moves incredibly well.
"I think the biggest thing that makes her so difficult to beat is because since she moves so well, if you miss your spot just slightly, she has enough time to recover, and then the point goes back to neutral. It's really hard to ever really get ahead in a point.
"There's just such a balance of being aggressive and trying to get her to move and going for things, but not pressing too hard and not going for anything too quickly. So I think she just does such a good job at making people start going for a little bit too much too quickly."
Iga Swiatek: "I wasn't really looking forward before, so now that I know my opponent, we'll do the work with Wim (Fissette) and prepare the tactics.
"Obviously, she likes to also play intense and pretty fast and she's using her powers, especially on a faster hard court. I need to be ready for that and be proactive and also good in defence.
"I guess in semis if you play against any opponent, they deserve to be there, so it's going to be tough no matter what, no matter who is on the other side of the net. So, I'll do my best."
