All business from Iga 🧳 @iga_swiatek defeats Collins and now awaits the winner of Zheng vs. Williams in the Round of 16 🔜 #CincyTennis
Repeat for Iga Swiatek in brutal thrashing over Danielle Collins to reach third round at Cincinnati Open
WTAWednesday, 16 August 2023 at 21:08
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.

- FYI: The term 'snub' is a much overused verb by writers of sensationalist rags. [SNUB: rebuff, ignore, or spurn disdainfully]. That is not the definition of what is going on with frequent withdrawals from tournaments.
mandoist16-09-2024 - No offence, Mr. Lloyd, but where have you been the past two years?? How long have you been a tennis fan? This 'article' may be informative for newbies or fair-weather tennis observers but the majority of fans know the root of the multiple issues within WTA. The #1 issue being the subject of health & well-being which has been (or has attempted to be) addressed with the WTA Elitist council members last season. WTA was extremely dismissive of players' concerns and opposed to such a meeting. Eventually giving-in due to publicity and allowed selective players only -- no rep's, no medical personnel, and no team members. The meeting was a farce as WTA soon after that released an even more hectic schedule... with mandatory tourneys! Guess they weren't taking notes?? BTW: There is a lot missing from this piece concerning "withdrawals". No writer has yet taken the jump to get behind the scenes and dig at the problems -- obvious organizational problems. IMO, the top two issues are WTA's lack of proper attention to health & well-being of its Money-Makers; and Financial Greed. Tip to Mr. Lloyd: there is no "snubbing" when these players withdraw. These women have to take such measures as withdrawing from a tourney, and occasional time-off from the circuit, to protect themselves -- because WTA refuses to take any measures at all (although not allowing matches until sunrise is a start). Surely you can do better than point fingers at players. The finger-pointing should be directed entirely at WTA (and ATP). Be a true journalist, Mr. Lloyd, and research them!!mandoist16-09-2024
- Uh-oh.... Now Raducanu is being forced to compete! Let's see who withdraws next... I wonder??mandoist15-09-2024
