Australian Open: Iga Swiatek is in total control during a 6-1, 6-0 rout of Emma Raducanu

Associated Press  

MELBOURNE, Australia — Everything came so easily for Iga Swiatek during a 6-1, 6-0 victory over Emma Raducanu on Saturday in the only Australian Open women’s third-round match between two past Grand Slam champions — if you thought that meant it would be close, you’d have been rather wrong — that this was how she described it: “I felt like the ball,” Swiatek said, “is listening to me.” Loud and clear. 4 Taylor Fritz, the runner-up at last year’s U.S. Open, became the highest-seeded man to leave the bracket, defeated by 38-year-old Gael Monfils 3-6, 7-5, 7-6, 6-4. Against Raducanu, who won the 2021 U.S. Open as a teenage qualifier, Swiatek played at a level she called “perfect.” Indeed, Swiatek mounted a 24-9 edge in winners, made only 12 unforced errors — roughly half of Raducanu’s 22 — and claimed 59 points to 29. Lys defeated Jaqueline Cristian 4-6, 6-3, 6-3 and is the first “lucky loser” to get to the Australian Open’s fourth round since the tournament moved to Melbourne Park in 1988.
