Seventh seed Iga Swiatek advanced to the fourth round of 2022 Australian Open after beating No 25 seed Daria Kasatkina, here on Saturday. The 20-year-old Swiatek wrapped up an impressive first week at the Australian Open with a 6-2, 6-3 win over Kasatkina, though the scoreline does not reflect the toughness of the 1-hour, 34-minute battle. She will now meet Sorana Cirstea, who upset No 10 seed Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova in three sets.
The win puts former Roland Garros champion, Swiatek, into the second week of a sixth successive major, and third Australian Open in a row. She has reached at least the fourth round in nine of the 12 Grand Slams she has contested. In Melbourne this week, she has yet to lose more than five games in any of her matches.
