Fresh off her dominant first-round win, third seed Iga Swiatek faces American Caty McNally, who stunned home crowds with a straight-sets victory.
Swiatek arrives with purpose. She’s determined to recapture her best grass form after a challenging year.
But Swiatek must also watch out for McNally’s fearless shotmaking and aggressive net rushes.
Swiatek vs. McNally Head-to-Head
Swiatek leads their only previous meeting 1–0, a straight-sets victory over McNally in Ostrava in 2022.
McNally comes in with confidence after underdog triumphs and holds a wildcard entry.
