US Open: Swiatek Rallies Past Kalinskaya To Reach Fourth Round, Osaka Sets Up Gauff Showdown
Arthur Ashe Stadium: Iga Swiatek overcame a slow start to defeat No. 29 seed Anna Kalinskaya 7-6 (2), 6-4 in 1 hour and 56 minutes at Arthur Ashe Stadium, advancing to the Round of 16 at the US Open for the fifth straight year.
Kalinskaya built a 5-1 lead in the first set—thanks, in part, to Swiatek’s 15 unforced errors and the No. 2 seed only landing 41% of her first serves. Leading 5-2, Kalinskaya had four set points. But she double faulted on two of them, enabling Swiatek to go on a tear.
Kalinskaya also double faulted away the 10th game to let Swiatek tie the set 5-all. The players traded breaks in the next two games, forcing a tiebreak. When Swiatek went up 5-0, Kalinskaya finally lost her cool, smashed her racket and kept playing. Swiatek punctuated the set, 7-2, by winning a seven-shot rally.
