Swiatek took a bathroom break between sets, during which she also changed her match kit, before mounting a recovery.
Although Zheng did finally get a game on the board with a break of her own, it was only delaying the inevitable as Swiatek closed out the set with yet another break.
The decider swiftly went the way of the Pole as she moved 3-0 up before serving out for what was – in the end – a comfortable victory. “My coach had said to me, ‘if you lose the set it might be a good idea to change your outfit, so you can kind of reset and go in the second set with a different vibe’ – I tried this time and it worked,” Swiatek said during her courtside interview, broadcast by Amazon Prime Video.Marketa Vondrousova gets past Stephens, 7-5, 6-3 in Cincinnati!
