The Polish and second favorite Iga Swiatek (2) surpassed the British Emma Raducanu by 6-1 and 6-0 to confirm the pass to the round of 16 of the Australian Open.
Swiatek, who has three Roland Garros and one US Open, goes without dropping a set so far in the tournament.
With this victory, the champion of the last three editions of Roland Garros established 4-0 in the face to face that he maintains with Raducanu.
On the hard court they have met twice, at Indian Wells in 2023 and at Melbourne Park this Saturday.
The Pole, who came into the tournament criticized by the wider sector for his alleged positive test for a doping substance, continues to hope to surpass his best record in Australia, the semifinals achieved in the 2022 edition.
Her next rival was a ‘lucky loser’, a repeat from the previous round, German Eva Lys, who eliminated Romanian Jaqueline Cristian.
