Two-time Grand Slam champion Swiatek has not made it past the round of 16 in four tournaments since winning the French Open in June. This win was the first for the 24th ranked Keys in six games against a No. 1 competitor. You’ve never won a group against the first player, according to the Associated Press. After dropping the first set and losing the first five games of the second, Swiatek rushed to win four games in a row, battling one game point before snatching Keys with a forehand into the field with a net-slashing shot. Swiatek won her first two matches against the Keys, including 6-1, 6-0 this year in Indian Wells. Keys is set to meet Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina, who easily advanced with a 6-2, 6-4 victory over Alison Riske Amritraj. Defending US Open champion and 10th seed Emma Radocano, who earlier beat Serena Williams in what was likely Williams’ second-last event, fell to seventh seed Jessica Pegula 7-5 6-4. Double Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova advanced to the women’s quarter-finals with a 6-1, 4-6, 6-0 victory over the 2022 Wimbledon final and fifth seed Anas Jaber. Top seed Daniil Medvedev qualified for the quarter-finals with a 7-5, 7-5 victory over Denis Shapovalov.
