Iga Swiatek gave another indication she might be back to her brilliant best after destroying Jessica Pegula 6-1, 6-2 at the Foro Italico on Wednesday and breezing into the Italian Open semi-finals.A three-time champion in Rome, Swiatek took little more than an hour to take care of fifth seed Pegula on centre court, without facing a single break point.It was a show of force on her preferred surface not seen since she last won the French Open two years ago, and gave Swiatek her first semi-final appearance of the season."I've been playing a bit differently, I would say. More similar to how I played couple years ago, more like a clay court player," Swiatek told reporters."I guess all the things that we practised really clicked during last few matches." SWIATEK SETS UP CLASH WITH SVITOLINASwiatek has set up a clash with Elina Svitolina, who fought back to beat Elena Rybakina 2-6, 6-4, 6-4, in the last four.The Pole holds a 4-2 winning record over Svitolina, with victories in both of their meetings on clay.A potential decider with reigning Roland Garros champion Coco Gauff awaits for the winner of that last-four match-up in Saturday's final.Swiatek hasn't won a clay-court tournament since claiming the most recent of her four Roland Garros titles, with personal problems a factor in her poor performances.But since struggling through her second-round win against Caty McNally Swiatek has dropped just seven games in three matches.Swiatek, a six-time Grand Slam champion, recently took on board Francisco Roig, the former coach of men's clay-court icon Rafael Nadal after a difficult opening few months of the season.The 24-year-old got to the quarter-finals in Stuttgart in early April and forced to retire from the Madrid Open in the third round due to a viral infection.Australian Open champion Rybakina looked poised to set up a meeting with Swiatek when she comfortably took the opening set against Svitolina.But the Ukrainian responded superbly, scrapping into her sixth semi-final of the season. RUDD IN LAST FOURBut the kind of form showed on Wednesday suggests she could be favourite for a fourth Foro Italico title and back in the mix for the French Open crown.In the men's tournament Casper Ruud reached his first Masters 1000 semi-final since winning in Madrid last year after beating Karen Khachanov 6-1, 1-6, 6-2 in a match interrupted by a long rain delay.Norwegian Ruud was one game down in the second set when a downpour fell on Rome, forcing the match to be paused for over two hours, and when play resumed Khachanov quickly levelled the match.But Ruud claimed his tour-leading 139th win on clay since the start of the 2020 season and will face one of Rafael Jodar, who was knocked out in the Madrid last eight by Jannik Sinner, or Luciano Darderi."A little bit of a, you know, down period in the second (set) when we came back after the rain," said Ruud on court."But very proud of the first and the third sets... the quality that I played in the first and third sets is probably some of the best I felt on court recently."Italy's Darderi is playing the biggest quarter-final of his career after knocking out second seed Alexander Zverev on Tuesday.

Luke Donald of England looks on while playing the first hole during a practice round prior to the PGA Championship at Aronimink Golf Club on May 13, 2026 in Newtown, Pennsylvania. (AFP) Luke Donald, seeking a three-peat in 2027 as Europe's Ryder Cup captain, is pleased with Jon Rahm securing his eligibility for the squad and has no worries about team-room issues.Speaking Wednesday at Aronimink on the eve of the 108th PGA Championship, Donald said he was thrilled LIV Golf champion Rahm had settled his issues with the DP World Tour last week, ensuring his Ryder Cup eligibility after saying the sanctions against him felt like extortion."I was glad an agreement had come to fruition sooner rather than later. The longer you leave that, the more onus is on me to potentially help with (rebuilding) some of those bridges," Donald said."When it comes to the Ryder Cup in the team room, I think they're all pretty aligned. I don't have any real qualms or issues that the team room won't be unified."The 48-year-old Englishman, who guided Europe victories in 2023 in Italy and last year at Bethpage Black, spoke with both sides but had not involvement in policy decisions."Very delighted that a resolution has happened and he's available," Donald said. "He has played four and two under my captaincy and done extremely well, so to have him available for selection is pretty cool."LIV Golf is set to lose Saudi funding in August so Donald is delaying exact criteria on the 2027 qualifying method."We don't really know what's going to happen with LIV," Donald said. "You have to think about that in terms of qualification criteria. We don't have to announce that until late-ish summer. The next few months, we'll just wait and see."Donald, only the second Cup captain with home and away triumphs after England's Tony Jacklin, would complete an unprecedented three-peat as captain if Europe wins next year at Ireland's Adare Manor.The United States has not won on European soil since 1993 at The Belfry in England.Americans lead the all-time rivalry 27-16 with two drawn but since expanding from a British and Irish side, Europe is 13-9-1 and has won 11 of the past 15 meetings.While many Europe players live and golf in the United States, Donald says it doesn't impact their desire and unity when playing for Europe."I think you never forget where you grow up and what you represent," Donald said. "Every single player is the same way, I would imagine."Donald is somewhat surprised his journey includes a third captaincy, but he could not resist the comeback call issued by Rory McIlroy, Shane Lowry and others."Sunday night of New York, I thought that was my time as captain," Donald said. "But as the months went on -- I live very close to Rory, to Shane, Matt Fitzpatrick - they were definitely very positive about me trying to go again."I started to think about it because, if your players really want you to do it, then I would at least consider that."'Never dreamed'After talking with his family, Donald took the job, knowing several possible captains took themselves out of contention by jumping to LIV Golf."I know there was a lot of people probably in line in front of me that went to LIV and gave up that opportunity, but I'm a big believer that things happen for a reason," Donald said."To have one opportunity to do it in Italy was incredible. Now I'm sitting here having three opportunities. I never would have dreamed that."Donald is unsure players who went to LIV will ever have a chance at the captain's role."The simple answer is no just because it's in the policy," Donald said. "I'm sure policies do change, but that will be up to really the tour." Related Story

Rory McIlroy of Northern Ireland during a practice round prior to the PGA Championship at Aronimink Golf Club on May 13, 2026 in Newtown, Pennsylvania. (AFP) Rory McIlroy was back on course at Aronimink on Wednesday, a day after a blister on his toe caused him to cut short a practice round for the PGA Championship.The world number two from Northern Ireland, among the favorites this week after winning his second consecutive Masters last month, had raised concerns on Tuesday.McIlroy limped through three holes and took off his right sock and shoe to treat the issue before halting his round and taking a cart back to the clubhouse.After his final round on Sunday at a PGA Tour event in Quail Hollow, McIlroy said a blister under his smallest right toenail had been annoying since Friday but would not be an issue for the PGA Championship.McIlroy told the Golf Channel he had removed the right toenail on Monday to better treat the blister.While the issue raised concerns, McIlroy was back at Aronimink on Wednesday morning, first for a session at the practice area.He then joined Ireland's Padraig Harrington and Shane Lowry on the 10th tee for a practice round, showing no sign of foot pain.McIlroy tried on several pairs of shoes at the clubhouse on Tuesday to try and ease the discomfort.He will face long walks across the 7,394-yard, par-70 layout over the next four days as he tries to capture his seventh career major title.McIlroy is set for an 8:40 a.m. (1240 GMT) start in Thursday's opening round alongside Spain's Jon Rahm and American Jordan Spieth.Americans have won the past 10 PGA Championships and taken 10 of the past 12 majors, only McIlroy's two Masters titles breaking that run.No player has won the Masters and PGA Championship in the same year since Jack Nicklaus in 1975.Top-ranked defending champion Scottie Scheffler and McIlroy have combined to win four of the past five majors.Scheffler has finished in the top 10 in each of his past six majors -- the longest run since Fijian Vijay Singh's seven in a row ended in 2006.Rahm, on pace for a third consecutive LIV Golf season crown, hopes to become the first Spaniard to win the PGA Championship and give his homeland titles in all four majors - a Spanish Grand Slam."It would be wonderful to close that fourth leg of the Grand Slam," Rahm said. "Even though every major is extremely special, to tie it all together with the greats of the past of Spain would be quite unique." Related Story
