Tennis: Swiatek powers into the last 16 in Toronto

Swiatek cruises in Toronto

Iga Swiatek didn’t hang about. The Pole swept aside Swiss player Viktorija Golubic 6-2, 6-1 in the third round in Toronto. Sixty-six minutes. Not a shred of suspense.

Seeded No. 7, Swiatek rattled off eleven of the last twelve games at one stage. The sort of run that breaks an opponent. She is through to the last 16.

Let’s do it

A tougher test looms

Things should get more demanding next. Swiatek will face Ukraine’s Marta Kostyuk or American Madison Keys for a place in the quarter-finals. Both can push her around.

The Pole has barely broken sweat all week. The serve is holding up. The forehand is doing damage. In Toronto, she already looks like a bogeywoman.

Eyes on the US Open

This Canadian event kicks off the hard-court swing in North America. The US Open is coming up fast. Swiatek wants to get there with rhythm and confidence. So far, so good.
