Already having to win one tiebreaker just to keep herself in the match, Fernandez needed to do it once more to advance to the semifinals. However, Pegula jumped out to a 5-2 lead before eventually taking the tiebreaker 7-3 to emerge victorious. It looked like Andreeva was going to pull off a stunning win when she went up 5-4 in the third set, but Swiatek, the World No. 1, took the next three games to end the 17-year-old's historic run at the tournament.
"She's playing and behaving like she's older," Swiatek said of Andreeva. "We were playing even, at a similar level, so it was really tight and every point mattered at the end. ... I'm happy that I just did solid, and yeah. It wasn't easy, for sure."
