    A good forehand there from Madison Keys, she got it down the line and the depth really came off sweetly, it's almost better when you don't have time to think.

    Nope, not this time she can't. Keys stabs through Swiatek's defence and hits a forehand winner down the line.

    Swiatek has Keys on the run and the American doesn't look comfortable as she nets.

    Can Swiatek get a three-point lead for the first time this tie-break?

    Phenomenal tennis. Maddison Keys takes the next point with a clutch forehand winner that Iga Swiatek can't reach on the stretch.
