–

The first-ever meeting between Iga Swiatek and Bianca Andreescu took place on the Grand Stand Court in Rome.

And if the first set was an intriguing look at things to come between players less than a year apart in age, the second set showed just Swiatek has been the dominant player on the WTA Tour over the last few months.

As for Ons Jabeur … Maria Sakkari was up 6-1, 5-2 – and lost.
