STORY CONTINUES BELOW THESE SALTWIRE VIDEOS - Iga Swiatek overcame a tricky opening set before racing to a 7-6 6-1 victory over Czech 10th seed Marketa Vondrousova on Friday in a clash between the last two Grand Slam winners to reach the Cincinnati Open semi-finals.
"She really used that and her experience for sure but I really wanted to be determined and fight for every ball, and in the end this is what worked." Swiatek, who is using this event as a tune-up ahead of her title defense at the Aug. 28-Sept. 10 U.S. Open, credited the adjustments she made in between sets for her ability to make quick work of Vondrousova in the second frame.
