Iga Swiatek and Cori Gauff are scheduled to face each other in the quarterfinals of the 2022 WTA San Diego Open on Friday, October 14.
Qinwen Zheng is one of the world’s fastest rising players, so it came as a surprise when she needed to qualify to play in the main draw here. More importantly, she had been knocked out in the qualifiers but emerged as a lucky loser before defeating Garbine Muguruza in the first round, who retired after trailing 5-0. Iga Swiatek, who reached the final of the Ostrava Open but lost to Barbora Krejcikova last week, will be hoping to go one step further this tournament and win her eighth title. Gauff, on the other hand, will not be an easy opponent.

Cori Gauff was taken to three sets in her second round win over Bianca Andreescu after easing into the second round with a straight-set win over Robin Montgomery. Gauff dropped her serve four times in a match that lasted two hours and 31 minutes, but she still won 6-4, 4-6, 6-3 to set up the Swiatek meeting. Gauff got off to a slow start, dropping her serve in the first game, but she leveled things out at 2-2 before breaking Andreescu’s serve to stay in the first set. The same pattern repeated in the second set, but this time Gauff felt the pressure at 4-4 when she lost her serve, and the Canadian capitalized to dish out an equalizer.
