In her first match since she won the Roland Garros final, Swiatek was dominant in the first set but was heavily tested by Fett in the second set. Fett increasingly drew errors from the top seed as the match progressed, and held five break points to take a commanding 4-1 lead in the second set.
But Swiatek’s powerful groundstrokes held her in good stead overall, and she squeaked her way out of that peril before grabbing the last five games of the match. Swiatek converted six of her 10 break points on the day.
Former Top 100 player Fett is now 0-3 against Top 10 players in her career. Fett famously held two match points against Caroline Wozniacki in the second round of the 2018 Australian Open — an event Wozniacki would go on to win.
