Swiatek dominated the opening set, never facing a break point and sealing it with a love break. The eighth seed was nearly flawless on serve, dropping just two points behind her first delivery. While both players kept their unforced errors low, it was Swiatek who took control of the rallies, hitting twice as many winners as Bencic. The second set was even more one-sided, with Bencic unable to claim a single game.
