*Swiatek 6-7 (4-7) 5-6 Bencic
The clock ticks towards the two-hour mark. It certainly could go on a whole lot longer.
Having initially struggled, Bencic is now enjoying some nice, incident-free games of her own, although an unwelcome double fault opens the door ever so slightly for Swiatek at 30-15.
The 14th seed presses on however, again moving within one game of a memorable straight-set success.
