Red-Hot Iga Swiatek Demolishes Ex-US Open Champion In Australian Open 2025

A relentless Iga Swiatek stayed on course for a maiden Australian Open title as she powered into the second week with a statement victory over Emma Raducanu on Saturday. In battle of former US Open champions, Swiatek easily had the measure of Raducanu as she romped to a 6-1, 6-0 triumph, rattling off 11 consecutive games from 1-1 in a brutal display.

Five-time Grand Slam winner Swiatek hit 24 winners to Raducanu's nine on Rod Laver Arena. "I played a few shots that I thought after them, this is what I practise for to play these kind of shots, and that's why I really enjoyed today's match," said Swiatek, who was at times untouchable, committing just 12 unforced errors.

"I felt really confident, so at the end I could push for even more.

"Having converted all these break points as well was important, so I'm really happy with today's performance."
