Swiatek, Medvedew cruise to storm into the Indian Wells quarter -finals

The two-time master IGA Swiatek delivered a master class and defeated Karolina Muchova from the Czech Republic 6: 1, 6: 1 to reach the Indian Wells quarter-finals on Tuesday.

After Swiatek had been waiting for an earlier rain delay, he immediately conquered the dynamics, won the first four games and did not give a single point on her first surcharge in the opening kit.

Muchova, who reached the US Open final last year after recovery of the wrist operation, tried to find her rhythm as a mistake in the second set.

“Sometimes games can be pretty strange,” said Swiatek. “It is enough that one player does not feel perfect and the other feels great to feel great. Then the difference is suddenly much larger than normally. We practiced last week and had a pretty similar level. It is tennis. Such things can happen. But I used my chances and remained concentrated and composed. It’s not easy, but I can imagine that it looks like this. “

In the quarterfinals against the Olympic champion Zheng Qinwen from China, Swiadek could be faced with a harder test that defeated Ukraine Marta Kostyuk 6: 3, 6: 2 to complete the night session at the main course.

In the men’s game, Holger Rune ended with the 12th seed Stefanos Tsitsipas’ seven players winning streak with a 6: 4, 6: 4 victory. The dane produced the tournament’s shot to save a break in the second set, and hit an archway behind the baseline, which landed on the opposite base line, beyond Tsitsipas’ reach.

“I am committed to my schedule and was mentally strong,” said Rune. “That made the difference. Stef is back in shape, so it was a cool fight. “

Rune will play the next Tallon Griekspoor from the Netherlands, who defeated the Japanese qualification Yosuke Watanuki with 7: 6 (4), 6-1 to achieve his first Masters 1000 quarter -finals.
