Iga Swiatek returned to the court for the first time since her US Open triumph last month, and advanced to the Agel Open quarter-finals with a 7-5 2-2 walkover victory against qualifier Ajla Tomljanovic. Swiatek and the Australian were engrossed in a tight battle throughout the first set which the three-time grand slam winner eventually took, despite a determined Tomljanovic clawing back a commanding 4-1 Swiatek lead. Ad It was a fierce start to the second set from both players in which all four games went to deuce, but Tomljanovic began to noticeably struggle with a knee injury during the second game, and eventually called it quits.
The world number one was leading 7-5, 2-2 in a tight encounter when the Australian quit, shortly after clutching her knee in pain. "It was a great match and it's unfortunate that something happened -- I hope she's going to recover quickly," said Swiatek.
