Poland's Iga Swiatek, the top seed at the US Open, continued her dominant run by defeating Liudmila Samsonova 6-4 6-1 to advance to the quarterfinals. Swiatek, the only former champion left in the women's draw, has yet to drop a set since the start of the tournament, showcasing her prowess at Arthur Ashe Stadium.
In her 100th major match, Swiatek displayed her experience by losing only four points on her first serve. Samsonova, aiming for her first major quarterfinal appearance, struggled to find her rhythm and failed to create any break point opportunities. Costly unforced errors further hindered Samsonova's chances in the match.
Swiatek's next challenge will be against American Jessica Pegula, whom she defeated in the 2022 US Open quarterfinals on her way to securing one of her five Grand Slam titles. The upcoming clash promises to be a thrilling encounter between two formidable players vying for a spot in the semifinals.
Swiatek's stellar performance at the US Open underscores her status as a top contender in the women's singles competition. With her unwavering focus and impressive skill set, Swiatek remains a force to be reckoned with as she continues her quest for another Grand Slam title.
