Merciless Swiatek with Raducanu
There was no duel. In this match between two Grand Slam winners, Iga Swiatek left only crumbs to Emma Raducanu, swept away 6-1, 6-0. The Pole stifled the Briton from start to finish to achieve a victory as quick as it was clear in 1h10. Already quick in the second round against Rebecca Sramkova, she did it again by attacking the one who surprised her world at the US Open 2021 in a one-sided encounter.
Once again too feverish in serving (58% of first serves), Emma Raducanu was never able to fight with Iga Swiatek. The world number 2 imposed her game by not letting the Briton breathe. Faced with Emma Raducanu's inability to keep her throw in play, the points then rolled away. Quite simply stronger, more powerful and more precise, the five-time Grand Slam winner was intractable against a cornered Raducanu and helpless in the face of the accuracy of the five-time Grand Slam winner.
Iga Swiatek thus signs her fourth victory in as many oppositions against Emma Raducanu, who played her first third round in Melbourne. All without having lost a single set, just to confirm its status as a real beast. In the next round, she will face Eva Lys or Jaqueline Cristian with the hope of continuing her walk in the park in this 2025 Australian Open.
