Swiatek 6-7 (4-7) 7-6 (7-2) 5-2 Bencic*
One more game required for Iga Swiatek.
The top seed allows herself to release a self-motivating shout of 'Come on!' as Bencic nets at 30-30.
The 14th seed then sends a return long, challenging more in hope than expectation. Her hopes, despite her remarkable efforts, now hang by a thread.
