The world number one’s draw is now opening up, and there’s no reason to believe that she shouldn’t progress far into the tournament with the potential matches ahead of her. Stephens had previously won the 2017 US Open, and would have been hoping for another triumph on home turf, but she faced a considerable challenge in the form of the Polish player. From then on, Swiatek gradually moved towards the finish line, and although Stephens made her work for the games she needed, she was unable to mount a real fightback to prevent the two-time Grand Slam champion from winning the first set.

Sometimes I wasn't ready for it when she was changing that rhythm. But I'm happy I was fighting till the end.” I'm pretty happy I made it through and could close it in second set and come back. Yeah, that was pretty important for me.
