Disgruntled Polish third seed Swiatek lost a titanic first-set battle that lasted almost 90 minutes and had no answer to a fearless Eala after that as she lost 7‑6(9) 6-2
Sabalenka earlier beat Kasatkina 6-0 7-5 on a sun-drenched Court Suzanne Lenglen for her 100th win as the top-ranked woman, making her only the ninth player to achieve the feat since the inception of the WTA rankings
World number two Rybakina put on a clinical display, never facing a break point on her own serve and landing nine aces while Shnaider could manage only one
Sabalenka’s comments came after the ATX Open in Austin, Texas launched a rage room in response to Coco Gauff’s racket-smashing incident at the Australian Open
