World number two Iga Swiatek has registered yet another milestone in her already impressive career.
The 22-year-old is currently taking part in the China Open where she got the better of fellow Polish player Magda Linette in the round of 16 in straight sets with a score of 6-1, 6-1.
After that win, Swiatek became the first women’s singles player since Agnieszka Radwanska to register 60 or more wins in consecutive seasons.
Swiatek is now set to face off against the winner of the match between Ukraine’s Anhelina Kalinina and France’s Caroline Garcia in the quarterfinal of the competition.
The Warsaw-born will be hoping to continue her winning run and lift that title which will surely lift her morale after a bit of a roller coaster ride.
Swiatek started the year slow as she was knocked out of the Australian Open after losing in the fourth round clash against Elena Rybakina in straight sets with a score of 6-4, 6-4.
She bounced back in the French Open where she lifted the title after getting the better of Czech Republic’s Karolina Muchova in the final with a score of 6–2, 5–7, 6–4.
But after that, not much went right for the four-time Grand Slam winner as she lost the quarterfinal at Wimbledon and was knocked out of the fourth round during the recently concluded US Open.
