Post-match summary

1. In the first match, Swiatek’s victory over Keys was quite predictable. Although Keys won the Australian Open, her performance afterward has been average without any standout moments. Swiatek has consistently maintained a high level of play, so her win over Keys was natural.
2. In the second match, Rybakina’s win against Anisimova was somewhat surprising. Anisimova had been showing impressive form towards the end of the season, yet she lost. Anisimova definitely needs to review and reflect on her performance.
