All business from Iga 🧳 @iga_swiatek defeats Collins and now awaits the winner of Zheng vs. Williams in the Round of 16 🔜 #CincyTennis
Iga Swiatek will face either Zheng Qinwen or Venus Williams in the Last 16 of the Cincinnati Open after handing out a thrashing against Danielle Collins in a repeat of their clash in Montreal clash.
That was a three set clash, but Collins was dished out a beating by the World No.1 in quick fashion at the Western & Southern Open 6-1, 6-0.
With the warm conditions in Cincinnati, the balls flew quickly with the conditions not as they were in Montreal allowing Swiatek to thrive. Precision and shot-making at her best.
Attacking the second serve, Swiatek unlike last week did it in emphatic fashion with Collins not thriving on her serve. It was 20/24 points from Swiatek in just one of those days from the imperious World No.1.
After having doubts last week and her World No.1 under threat, she returned emphatically as Collins didn't do much wrong but was on the other end of a hiding.
Also through so far this evening, Daria Kasatkina and Marketa Vondrousova have found their way into the next round with Maria Sakkari, Karolina Muchova and the aforementioned tie between Zheng and Venus Williams.
