Swiatek Reigns, Sabalenka Stays Hot | Fayetteville News

Iga Swiatek keeps crushing it at the Cincinnati Open, rolling past Emiliana Arango 6-3, 6-0 to extend her winning streak to seven straight matches. Aryna Sabalenka, still holding top spot, also advanced with a gritty 6-2, 7-6 win over Talia Gibson — she’s now 15-0 on hard courts since 2022. Elena Rybakina bounced back from her Toronto loss, defeating Taylor Townsend 6-3, 6-4, aiming for another hard-court crown after her Australian Open title. On the men’s side, Taylor Fritz and Felix Auger-Aliassime both moved forward; Auger-Aliassime’s comeback win over Tsitsipas — his first hard-court match since March — is especially inspiring. Also rising: 19-year-old Joao Fonseca, now the third teen to reach the third round here, echoing legends like Chang and Sampras.
