Iga Swiatek
For Swiatek, who upped her career Grand Slam tally to three with wins at this year's French Open and U.S. Open, the win gave her some measure of revenge on Garcia after having fallen to her in the quarter-final at the Poland Open in July.
The 21-year-old Pole broke at love for a 5-3 lead and then served out what proved to be a tight opening frame on her third set point when world number six Garcia sent a forehand long.
Swiatek then broke Garcia to start the second set and in the next game calmly roared back from 0-40 down to hold serve and never faced a break point the rest of the way in a match she sealed in style with an ace.
