Gauff, the reigning U.S. Open champion, struggled towards Swiatek’s clear efficiency. She dedicated 39 unforced errors towards Swiatek’s 14.
A visibly pissed off Gauff lashed out towards umpire Aurélie Tourt early within the second set after Tourt overturned a name towards Swiatek’s serve, and as an alternative awarded the purpose to the Polish tennis star.
