The match, described by Swiatek as \"weird\" due to constant rhythm changes, saw the Polish player remain composed despite a physical battle. Swiatek, who has dropped from third to eighth in the world rankings, will face Viktorija Golubic in the next round. Golubic had previously defeated Donna Vekic. Swiatek has been focusing on improving her rhythm and rhythm control in preparation for the US Open, following her Wimbledon third-round exit.",
