Yuan had some moments and nice shots/rallies in a more competitive second set, but we still got the expected straight set win for the top seeded Swiatek here. R3 vs Osorio next

The 'since the format introduction in 2009' makes it all feel like a rather vacuous achievement' frankly' especially considering it has kept evolving' there being more Masters now and the tournaments stretching out to last two weeks.

According to the official stats Iga hit 23 UE and 4 FE. Broken record, I know, but it seems like the concept of forced errors has been ignored by the ones doing the match stats for several tournaments since Montreal.

I didn't watch this match, so I'm not calling this one out with 100% confidence. You can shuffle a deck of card and get 4 aces in a row followed by 4 kings, or 13 clubs, or 26 red cards. Anything is possible in real life. But it should be rare. This is too frequent (for instance here at Beijing: Rybakina d. McNally or Sakkari d. Krueger).
