Iga Swiatek needed a set to get going, but the Pole beat China’s Qinwen Zheng well Thursday night (3-6, 6-1, 6-1) in the round of 16 of the Masters 1000 in Cincinnati. Shaken at the start of the match, she dropped the first set after losing her first two service games. Much more comfortable in the next two sets, she was almost intractable, leaving only two games to her opponent.
Eliminated in the round of 16 in Cincinnati in 2022, Swiatek has this time qualified for the quarters where she will face Wimbledon winner Marketa Vondrousova.
