Lindsay Davenport suggested during her match commentary that the Cincinnati Open scheduling favored Iga Swiatek more than Elena Rybakina, and she did not find it fair.

Iga Swiatek recovered from an early deficit to beat Elena Rybakina 7-5 6-3, while Jasmine Paolini overcame Veronika Kudermetova 6-3 6-7 (2) 6-3 to reach the Cincinnati final.

Third seed Iga Swiatek beat Elena Rybakina 7-5 6-3 on Sunday to reach her first Cincinnati Open final. The Pole had her hands full in the early stages of the 98-minute match but took advantage of a sudden dip in Rybakina's form to win four consecutive games and wrap up the first set before easing through the second.

Iga Swiatek has rapidly ascended the ranks of women's tennis, recently clinching her sixth Grand Slam title at Wimbledon. This remarkable achievement not only solidifies her status as a top contender but also showcases her resilience and skill on the court.

This match feels like a bit of a coin-flip battle, but the coin might be weighted to one side due to the conditions.

Aryna Sabalenka's Cincinnati Open title defense is over. The World No. 1 was eliminated by Elena Rybakina in the quarterfinals Aug. 15.
