Her sharp play earned her early breaks in both sets, allowing her to maintain control throughout.

Swiatek focused on her own game, acknowledging Pavlyuchenkova's power but remaining prepared for the fast-paced rallies. The match's turning point came early, as Pavlyuchenkova's unforced errors gave Swiatek a crucial break in the first game, setting the tone for the rest of the match.

Maintaining her momentum into the second set, Swiatek dominated, losing only three points on her first serve and committing just one unforced error. She broke Pavlyuchenkova twice more, sealing her victory and advancing to the next round, where she will face Liudmila Samsonova.
