Iga Swiatek achieved a significant victory in the Cincinnati Open, defeating Elena Rybakina in the semi-finals. The match lasted over an hour, with Swiatek securing the first set 7-5 and the second set 6-3. During the match, she requested a camera operator to stop filming her at the end of the first set while she was preparing for a change. Despite this brief interruption, Swiatek remained focused and went on to succeed in her first Cincinnati final, expressing satisfaction with her performance and acknowledging the challenges ahead.
"At the beginning, the level was pretty crazy. We played so fast that sometimes we couldn't run to the second ball. I was there to play with intensity and good quality."
"I'm super happy with the performance. Anyone in the final is going to be super tough, so I have to think tactically. I will focus on myself and do what I've been doing."
