Iga Swiatek, the formidable Polish tennis player and second seed, secured her place in the fourth round of the Australian Open with a commanding victory over Emma Raducanu. Swiatek's strategic play targeted Raducanu's backhand, leading to an emphatic 6-1, 6-0 win on Saturday at Melbourne Park.

The world number one displayed exceptional form, winning the last 11 games of the match and breezing through without facing a break point. Her consistent play and tactical targeting of Raducanu's serve allowed her to dominate the former U.S. Open champion.
