World number 3 Iga Swiatek had a light-hearted moment during her Cincinnati Open interview after defeating Elena Rybakina. Mistaking a drop for rain, she asked, "Wait, rain?" only for the interviewer to joke it was spit. Swiatek laughed it off alongside the crowd. Swiatek had just secured a 7-5, 6-3 win to book a place in the finals.
