Iga Swiatek is through to the 4th round of the Australian Open following a decisive victory over Daria Kasatkina 6-2 6-3.
Iga Swiatek is showing a very high level of confidence in her game so far in Melbourne and that was the case against Kasatkina as well. Not worrying too much about making mistakes, the Polish player is playing super aggressive tennis seeking out winners non-stop. It's a return to the playstyle that won her the French Open in 2020 and she credits that to her new coach.
Against Kasatkina it became apparent very early on that the Russian would not be able to handle it. The Polish player took an early lead thanks to some amazing shot-making and serving. Kasatakina tried to apply pressure but she could not return as well as she would have hoped. Swiatek added another break at 5-2 to close out the first set with 6-2.
The start of the 2nd set featured strong play by Iga once more as she took an early 2-0 lead. A very bad game made Swiatek give back the lead to Kasatkina as the Russian found some inspiration with a 2-2 score. It did not last long as the Polish player once again established control attacking the Russian repeatedly. She faltered and Swiatek cruised to a 6-3 2nd set finish.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
