When it comes to Iga Swiatek reaching the third round of a major, you may as well put it in ink. Swiatek, the No. 2 seed from Poland, struggled Thursday but got past world No. 66 Suzan Lamens of the Netherlands, 6-1, 4-6, 6-4 to again reach the third round of the US Open, which she has done at Flushing Meadows -- and every other major -- since the start of 2020. She's the only player on the men's or women's tour to accomplish that in that time frame.

Elena Rybakina produced an imperious performance at the Cincinnati Open, dismantling Aryna Sabalenka, the world No 1, 6-1, 6-4 to reach the semi-finals.

"I felt very uncomfortable on my first match on grass, having done a long period on clay, so I struggled today."
