Trending
Being the top seed, the Pole got a bye in the opening round at the Cincinnati Open. She won against Varavara Gracheva in a lopsided three-set match. The World No.1 bageled her opponent in the first set but lost the second set in the tiebreaker. However, she kept her composure and won the final set 6-2.
In the third round, it was a more routine and smooth 6-2, 6-2 win for Swiatek over fifteenth-seeded Marta Kostyuk and kept the top seed on course for a 23rd career title.
Mirra Andreeva is the young star of the WTA circuit. She won her maiden Tour title this year, winning the Iasi Open, by overcoming Elina Avanesyan in the final as the Armenian retired from the match in the third set. Reaching the semi-final of the French Open at just 17 years of age was another milestone achievement for the young Russian.
At the Cincinnati Open, Andreeva began her campaign with a straight-sets win over 11th-seeded Emma Navarro in the first round. She then defeated Karolina Pliskova in straight sets in the second round. In a rematch of the French Open semi-final, Andreeva faced off against fifth-seeded Jasmine Paolini in the third round. Despite losing the first set, the World No. 24 staged a comeback to win the match.
