Swiatek would have been relieved to start things off on a solid note here in Cincinnati after an early setback in Toronto last week. Despite clearly having serve issues, Iga Swiatek defeated Sloane Stephens 6-4, 7-5 in a match that lasted an hour and 41 minutes. After taking a 4-1 lead in the opening set, Swiatek lost her serve for the second time in the match. Nevertheless, the Pole broke Stephens as her rival served to tie the match at 4.5. Swiatek went 5-2 up in the second set after an early exchange of serve breaks, but once more, things didn’t go quite as well for her. Prior to Stephens tying the score at 5-5, she lost her serve in the ninth game. But a forceful Swiatek broke Stephens, who had been serving to remain in the game and seal the victory.

At the Cincinnati Open, after defeating Yulia Putintseva in the first round, Madison Keys defeated Jelena Ostapenko in straight sets to set up a showdown with the top-ranked player in the world. Despite losing her service in both sets, Keys defeated her Latvian opponent 6-4, 7-5 after spending 1 hour and 36 minutes on the court. When Ostapenko served for the match at 5-4 in the second set, Keys had already led by a pair of breaks in the first set when Ostapenko finally managed to get one back. Keys immediately broke through again, serving the match out this time. These two victories end Keys’ losing streak, during which she had only won two of her previous six games.
