Iga Swiatek Has Her Tennis Back, but Without Time for Appreciation, the Calendar Makes No Sense
Iga Swiatek arrived in Cincinnati with a title, a reset and a familiar complaint.

Alexandrova Enters God Mode in Toronto, Sabalenka the Victim Once Again

Rybakina Beats Kasatkina in Three, But Can’t Shake Her Second-Set Problem
