The best Polish tennis player is doing brilliantly during this year’s edition of the Grand Slam. She went through the first three rounds without losing a single set. The Polish woman is also a favorite in Monday’s clash with Sorana Cirstea from Romania, ranked 38th in the ranking.
Iga Świątek has never faced her closest rival before
So far, she has not had the opportunity to face the 11 years older Romanian, for whom the greatest success at the Australian Open is reaching the fourth round in 2017. In the first round, Sorana Cirstea eliminated the Czech Petra Kvitova (19th WTA), with whom she won 6-2, 6-2. Then she threw Slovak Kristina Kucova from further competition, defeating her 6: 2, 6: 4, and in the third round she won with Russian Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova 6: 3, 2: 6, 6: 2.
The winner of this match will play with the winner of the pair Kai Kanepi – Aryna Sabalenka (2nd WTA).
