Third seed Iga Swiatek will meet 28th seed Anna Kalinskaya in the quarterfinals of the Cincinnati Open 2025. Both players entered with first-round byes. Swiatek eased past Anastasia Potapova, 25th seed Marta Kostyuk, and Sorana Cirstea in straight sets. Kostyuk withdrew mid-tournament due to a right wrist injury, giving the Pole a walkover. Kalinskaya’s path was more grueling. She battled past Peyton Stearns in three sets, dismissed fifth seed Amanda Anisimova in straight sets, and staged a comeback against 12th seed Ekaterina Alexandrova.

Swiatek’s campaign has been a masterclass in consistency. Last month, she captured her sixth Grand Slam title and first Wimbledon crown with a merciless double-bagel over Anisimova in the final. She has reached finals in Bad Homburg, semifinals at Roland Garros, Indian Wells, Doha, Madrid, and the Australian Open, and quarterfinals in Miami, Stuttgart, and Dubai. Despite a surprise loss to Clara Tauson in Montreal, her numbers remain elite. She has struck 157 aces, won 68.7% of first-serve points, converted 51.7% of break points, and claimed 47.7% of return points.

Anna gets her first win over Drova.

She was 0-6 against her before today.

Some huge ballstriking from both… but Anna’s backhand was the best shot on the court.

My journey into sports media began far from the field, rooted in the arts and sciences. Funny enough, I didn’t grow up a sports fan; I used to see it all as just noise. But a fateful writing job introduced me to the world of sports, and what began as a gig quickly became a passion. I understood those voices aren’t noise; they’re emotions of true sports fans, and now I am one of them, writing with the same energy I once questioned.
