World No. 1 Iga Swiatek of Poland smashed her way to a 6-2, 6-3 win over Colombian Camila Osorio in the second round at the Australian Open on Wednesday.
Swiatek dropped serve three times but locked in to break Osorio’s serve six times in a one-hour, 24-minute victory at Rod Laver Arena.
“She didn’t give me many points for free,” Swiatek said. “So I needed to really work for each of them and it was tough, but I’m happy that I was proactive and trying to just play a little bit to put pressure (on her). But I’m pretty happy that I won and I can play next round.”
The win gets Swiatek a step closer to a semifinal matchup with third-seeded American Jessica Pegula, who took down Swiatek in straight sets at the United Cup.
