Swiatek holds his nerve to reach the quarters!
Iga Swiatek is not yet convincing.
She's winning, she's not losing a set and yet she's not quite as impressive as expected.
Against Xiyu Wang, ranked 52nd, she did her job without playing very well.
Although she made many errors (26), she came through with experience, raising her voice when necessary.
Winning in two sets (6-3, 6-4 in 1h51), the Polish player nevertheless seemed a little less untouchable than usual.
Be that as it may, the world No. 1 successfully advanced to the next round, where she will challenge Danielle Collins for a place in the semi-finals.
