    A set and a break down, but Swiatek has recovered and is almost in the quarter-finals. This has been an epically good tie that I - and I imagine you - don't want to end.

    No, not there! Rybakina gets it all wrong and puts way too much on a drop shot which lets Swiatek come forward and hammer a passing winner.

    Two break points!

    Serving to stay in the tournament, most people would be under pressure.

    Not Iga, she holds to love as Rybakina is forced into an error.

    By the barest of margins. It looked like Rybakina had double-faulted on break point, but a very late check from the umpire overturned things, and Rybakina managed to recover to hold.

    Swiatek's got to get that game out of her head now. She wins the first point on her serve for 15-0.
