30-30 on Rybakina's serve. The pace rises on the next rally as every shot gets bigger and bigger.
Rybakina opens up the court first and plays a pinpoint backhand cross-court that has Swiatek dropping her racquet trying to get to it.
40-30, Rybakina then squeaks to a hold after Swiatek errors a volley into the net.
The defending champ is furious with herself. Chuntering as she slumps into her chair.
