Polish tennis player Iga Swiatek's post match interview took an awkward turn when the interviewer mentioned possibly spitting on her after beating Elena Rybakina in straight sets to reach the Cincinnati Open final on Monday night.

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