This is the most unbalanced round of 16 of the Australian Open on paper between the world number 2, the Polish Iga Swiatek, and the German lucky loser, Eva Lys.
Having struggled in the past in Melbourne, Iga Swiatek seems in much better conditions in 2025. The Pole seems not to suffer from the heat and for the moment, this is showing on her tennis. And during the first 3 rounds, the world number 2 did not linger on the court, leaving only a few games to her opponents. The Czech Katerina Siniakova, the Slovak Rebecca Sramkova then the British Emma Raducanu tried to make the Warsaw native tremble, without success. 10 games lost in 3 matches, suffice to say that Iga Swiatek did not come to Melbourne to make up the numbers.
-This Monday morning, it's Eva Lys who will in turn try to make the Polish girl fall for her. Lucky Loser, the German player was able to benefit from this second chance offered to achieve her best career performance in a Grand Slam tournament. The 128th player in the WTA had never won a single match in Australia, which did not prevent her from being solid all week. It is true that Eva Lys was able to take advantage of a clear field with the strongest opponent she faced, the Frenchwoman Varvara Gracheva (69th). Winner also of the Romanian Jacqueline Cristian and the Australian Kimberly Birrell, the German gave herself the right to dream of an exploit this Monday.
