Iga Swiatek outplayed Anna Kalinskaya to reach her third Cincinnati semifinal, where Elena Rybakina -- fresh off a straight-sets win over Aryna Sabalenka -- awaits.

But Vukov refused to sit silently - and after appealing the WTA's ban - he won his case and rejoined Rybakina's team at the Cincinnati Open. And that is already having a positive impact on the Kazakh, who is through to the semifinal after ousting top seed Aryna Sabalenka 6-1 6-4.

Aryna Sabalenka will be clashing with 2022 Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina in the quarterfinals of the Cincinnati Masters.
