The six-time Grand Slam champion warmed up for the final major of the year with victory at the Cincinnati Open – a WTA 1000 event – and looks in fine tune in New York.

Just one day later, she featured in the US Open’s revamped mixed doubles event alongside Casper Ruud where the pair reached the final but missed out to defending champions and doubles specialists Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori.

Swiatek took early control of her match against Arango with a break of serve in the fourth game before breaking again for a 5-1 lead and holding to clinch the opening set.

That ruthless form continued into the second set as Swiatek immediately broke her opponent’s serve in the opening game, then again in the seventh, and sealed a dominant win in just over an hour.

Swiatek will face the Netherlands’ Suzan Lamens, ranked 66 in the world, in the second round.
