Maria Sakkari looks to capitalize on a +6.5-game spread against Iga Swiatek in the third round of the 2026 Cincinnati Open.
Current Form:
Fresh off a title in Toronto, Iga Swiatek needed just an hour and 11 minutes to dispatch Emiliana Arango, 6-3, 6-0, in the second round. Swiatek held all except one of her service games and broke Arango five times to secure an easy win. Swiatek is now 19-6 on the hard court in 2026.
Maria Sakkari survived Kamila Rakhimova 6-2, 5-7, 6-1 to punch her ticket to the next round. The former top-10 player also reached the second round in Toronto, beating Zeynep Sonmez 6-3, 6-2 before bowing to Coco Gauff 1-6, 4-6.
The Matchup: Swiatek is 5-4 against Sakkari in their head-to-head series. However, the Greek emerges as the more attractive pick in the spread market after getting a +6.5-game boost.
