In one of Wimbledon’s most anticipated opening matches, Swiatek had little trouble dispatching the 2020 Australian Open winner. The top seed quickly took a 2-0 lead. Although she briefly lost serve in the third game, the Polish star immediately broke back and secured the first set in 37 minutes on her second set point during her service game.
