Tennis: Swiatek Enjoys 66-minute Victory Over Golubic To Make Toronto Last 16
Mubadala Citi DC Open: No. 7 seed Iga Swiatek conceded just three games on her way to a commanding victory in the Canadian Open, out-performing Viktorija Golubic in the third round on Thursday.
The Polish former World No.1, a semifinalist in the event in 2023, advanced to the fourth round, beating Golubic 6-2, 6-1 in 66 minutes.
Golubic occupies a rare place in Swiatek's career lore: she's the only player who has ever defeated the Pole in the first round of a Grand Slam. But that was back at Wimbledon 2019, when Swiatek was just 18 years old. The former World No. 1 has not lost to Golubic in three matches since, and conceded just five games to her in their last two encounters.
