Iga Swiatek debuts with the best sensations and surpasses the American Danielle Collins (6-1, 6-0) in their duel for the second round of the WTA 1000 in Cincinnati. The next rival of the Polish will be the winner of the cross between Qinwen Zheng and Venus Williams.
Premiere for the No.1 in the world in this Western & Southern Open tournament in Cincinnati, trying to get a good feeling and excited to be crowned this week, before having to defend her US Open title in New York. Every Swiatek She was coming off a good week in Canada, but with a painful defeat in the semifinals in a match she was headed against, later champion, Jessica Pegula. Her rival for this debut was the local Danielle Collinsnot past his prime but still with his good power that generates a lot of danger on hard courts.
Swiatek leaves no doubt
The match began with a very clear trend, and that is that although Collins was expected to be able to maintain that aggressive rhythm at the beginning, a quick break in the first game already gave the Polish dominance. Even more so with a second break to move up 3-0, and beyond the fact that the American would take advantage of a forgettable game from Iga to recover one of the breaks, a third break immediately came for the No.1, with everything low control despite that downturn. Not letting her rival hold her out of her even once, Swiatek secured that first set by a 6-1, flying.
The tone was not going to change at all for the second quarter, with a Collins who tried to turn the situation around with super flat shots and from the lines, but falling into a majority of errors, and already in despair at not being able to do anything to overcome the resistance of the Pole. Again the consecutive breaks, and the fate of the game was written. Finally, Iga sealed his first step in Cincinnati with a rosco.
