][Tim Henman] that sometimes you are just at the limit of your DNA.[/
The Pole's power, depth and precision work her to two break points but clutch serving sees Jasmine completely flip the game and take charge at deuce.
It seems to be a sad truth here as Swiatek makes it nine games in a row with another break and it's now just a case of when she lifts that trophy aloft once again.
This was the youngest major semi-final since Andy Murray defeated Rafael Nadal at the US Open in 2008.

Alcaraz will aim to win his third major title and improve to 3-0 in Grand Slam finals when he faces Casper Ruud or Alexander Zverev in Sunday’s championship match.
The toughest matches that I have played in my short career have been against Jannik.
Alcaraz missed Rome last month due to a right forearm injury but has been comfortable on the Parisian clay. The Spaniard, who sunk Stefanos Tsitsipas in straight sets in the quarter-finals, has dropped just three sets in the French capital.
