"Swiatek is up there with the most relentlessly, murderously focused competitors in all sport, and it's great to see her back to her best. She's not unbeatable because there are others with more power and bigger shots, able to hit through her, but her all-round game might be the most complete. Share Hello there and welcome to this Monday's meeting of the Gleeful Hand-Rubbing Society. I mean, just look at what's in store."
"We begin with the winners from the first round of matches, Iga Swiatek back to her menacing, intimidating best against Elena Rybakina, who's not trained on as expected since winning Wimbledon in 2022, but when she's at it has the easy, joyful power to ruin anyone. Likewise Amanda Anisimova surely a future Grand Slam winner and this year's runner-up at Wimbledon and Flushing Meadow. She takes on against Madison Keys, the Australian Open champ words I'll never tire of typing with the loser eliminated."
Iga Swiatek has returned to a relentlessly focused, menacing best, combining complete all-round play while remaining vulnerable to players with greater power. Elena Rybakina has not trained as expected since winning Wimbledon in 2022, but retains easy, joyful power capable of devastating opponents when in form. Amanda Anisimova is positioned as a likely future Grand Slam winner and this year's runner-up at both Wimbledon and the US Open. She will face Madison Keys, the Australian Open champion, in a match that eliminates the loser. Observers expect intense power exchanges and strong entertainment value.
