INDIAN WELLS, Calif. (AP) — Elena Rybakina routed top-ranked Iga Swiatek 6-2, 6-2 to advance to the BNP Paribas Open final. She’ll play Aryna Sabalenka, who beat Maria Sakkari 6-2, 6-3, in Sunday’s title match in the Southern California desert. Swiatek had her 10-match winning streak in the desert stopped and was denied a chance to defend her title from last year. Rybakina needed just 76 minutes to finish off Swiatek. The Polish star says her rib was bothering her and she plans to have it examined. Sabalenka, who is the Australian Open champion, improved to 17-1 this year.
