US Open: Swiatek Saves Triple Set Point, Overcomes Rakhimova In First Round

By IANS News August 28, 2024 • 00:30 AM View: 202

Arthur Ashe Stadium: Women's World No.1 Iga Swiatek of Poland survived a scare at the US Open on Tuesday, overcoming a gritty challenge from lucky loser Kamilla Rakhimova in the first round of women's singles at the Arthur Ashe Stadium here.

Swiatek, the 2022 US Open winner, saved three set points in the second-set tiebreak before advancing 6-4, 7-6(6) in 1 hour and 52 minutes at the Flushing Meadows.

Rakhimova held some initiative in their first encounter, which initially threatened to be a one-sided rout after Swiatek raced out to a 4-0 lead for the loss of just three points. But Rakhimova, who took Aryna Sabalenka to three sets in Washington four weeks ago, pushed the Pole hard for the rest of the match.
