    "editor1": "WTA Rankings No: Iga Swiatek eased into the third round at the Australian Open after defeating Slovakia's Rebecca Sramkova 6-0, 6-2 on Thursday.<p>In relatively mild and breezy conditions, Swiatek struck 16 winners to 14 unforced errors and did not face a break point. She dominated off the ground, winning 20 of the 26 rallies that lasted five shots or more.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"I felt really solid today. It was a really efficient game. I\u2019m happy that I kept my focus because sometimes you think in a way it seems a little bit easy and it might cause problems later on because your focus might be gone, but I\u2019m happy that I kept it and I was solid,\" Swiatek said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Swiatek has now won her last 40 matches in the first two rounds at a Grand Slam. Her opening set over Sramkova is her 24th 6-0 set at a Grand Slam since the start of 2020. Aryna Sabalenka is the next best over that span with nine, according to WTA stats.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Swiatek will take on 2021 US Open champion Emma Raducanu in the third round. Raducanu came through a tough second-round draw against Amanda Anisimova, coming from a break down in both sets to seal a 6-3, 7-5 win and make the third round at Melbourne Park for the first time.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Swiatek is undefeated against No. 61 Raducanu, winning all three previous meetings without the loss of a set. Their last clash came on the clay at Stuttgart last year. Swiatek won 7-6(2), 6-3 in the quarterfinals.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Swiatek has not lost a set en route to the third round, and her progress has a significant impact on her quest to retake the WTA Rankings No. 1 from Aryna Sabalenka after Melbourne.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Swiatek is undefeated against No. 61 Raducanu, winning all three previous meetings without the loss of a set. Their last clash came on the clay at Stuttgart last year. Swiatek won 7-6(2), 6-3 in the quarterfinals.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>Also Read: <\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/tagging\/highest-tax-paying-cricketers\">Highest tax paying cricketers<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Article Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/ians.in\/english-wire\/sports\/1\" rel=\"nofollow\">IANS<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n",
