Well, the rest is a qualification for the quarter-finals without having lost a set along the way and an impression of steady growth in power, match after match. We had found her tense in the first round, against the lucky loser Kamilla Rakhimova (6-4, 7-6), she was much less so against Liudmila Samsonova. The first set was nevertheless close. Swiatek did get two break points at 2-1, but without being able to convert them. Sometimes jostled by Samsonova’s power, she made a few unusual mistakes. But, at the end of the set, she did what was necessary to get three new break points. The first was the right one, her return forcing Samsonova to make a forehand mistake.
