Playing for the first time since routing Amanda
Anisimova 6-0, 6-0 in the Wimbledon final for her sixth major,
Swiatek raced to a 4-0 lead to push her games winning streak to
24.
“I think I played a really solid match today,” Swiatek said.
“Playing the first match on hard court after a pretty long break
from the surface is always tricky, so I’m happy that I just
focused on myself, adjusted to the conditions and played well.”
On Friday, the second-seeded Polish star will face Eva Lys of
Germany, a 6-3, 6-4 winner over Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova of
Russia in a night match.
Two-time defending champion Jessica Pegula of the United States
also advanced, topping Marie Sakkari of Greece 7-5, 6-4.
Fifth-seeded Amanda Anisimova, also of the United States, beat
Lulu Sun of New Zealand 6-4, 7-6 (5).
Sixth-seeded Madison Keys of the United States beat Germany’s
Laura Siegemund 6-2, 6-1, and former top-ranked player Naomi
Osaka of Japan rallied to edge Liudmila Samsonova of Russia 4-6,
7-6 (6), 6-3.
