Iga Swiatek moves in a 3rd-round match against Raducanu at the Australian Open

The five-time Grand Slam champion makes a habit of advancing quickly through the early rounds at the majors. She’s won 12% of her sets in Grand Slams by 6-0, according to the tournament broadcaster.

So when No. 49-ranked Sramkova ended a seven-game losing run by holding serve on Thursday, she raised her arm to acknowledge the applause from the Rod Laver Arena crowd. It was one of the few chances she had to celebrate.

Second-seeded Swiatek next faces 2021 U.S. Open champion Emma Raducanu, who recovered from an early break in the second set to hold off Amanda Anisimova 6-3, 7-5.
