Swiatek holds its ground and joins Pegula in the quarters

Iga Swiatek continues her journey in New York.

While the Pole seemed to have lost momentum in recent weeks, she is now back to full fitness, as evidenced by her 6-4, 6-1 win over Liudmila Samsonova on Monday.

After a difficult first match in which she seemed far from her best, the world number 1 is now impressing.

After a solid match in which she was never really troubled, Swiatek reassured herself once again on Monday, masterfully passing her first test of the tournament.

For a place in the semi-finals, she will face a Jessica Pegula who is in better shape than ever.

A promising duel!
