In her post-match interview, she was asked about the power outage that affected Madrid on Monday. She said: "I actually enjoyed it yesterday, I felt very relaxed.
I used that time to rest. There was no network, so no one was using their phones.
It was nice. Diana played well, and I'm happy I finally found the solution."
Swiatek will face the winner of the match between Donna Vekic and Madison Keys in the quarterfinals.
