Aus Open: Swiatek Reaches 24th Straight Major Third Round; Selekhmeteva Stuns Badosa
John Cain Arena: World No. 2 Iga Swiatek registered a 6-2, 6-3 straight-set victory at the Australian Open on Thursday, reaching the third round in her 24th consecutive Grand Slam.
On Monday, Swiatek became the first woman to reach the second round in 25 consecutive Grand Slams, since Svetlana Kuznetsova (26, from 2006-12). She is now the only woman in the Open Era to advance to the third round of any decade’s first 24 majors. Her previous second-round exit came at the 2019 US Open, where she lost to Anastasija Sevastova.
Swiatek broke serve to claim the opening set 6-2. Swiatek's aggressive baseline play proved too powerful, with her groundstrokes reaching speeds of up to 140 kmph, consistently forcing Bouzkova into defensive positions and wrapping up a dominant performance on John Cain Arena.
