Iga Swiatek Cruises into US Open Round Three After Straight-Sets Win
Świątek Continues Dominant Run at Flushing Meadows
Polish Star Powers Past Shibahara and Pavlyuchenkova
World No. 1 Iga Świątek has cruised into the third round of the US Open with a resounding straight-sets victory over Ena Shibahara and Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova.
The Polish star, who has been in impressive form all season, made light work of her opponents, dispatching Shibahara 6-3, 6-4 in the first round before overcoming a tougher challenge from Pavlyuchenkova in the second round.
Against Pavlyuchenkova, Świątek showcased her trademark aggressive baseline play, hitting deep groundstrokes and forcing her opponent into errors.
The 21-year-old broke Pavlyuchenkova's serve five times and saved all but one of the break points she faced.
Świątek's victory extends her winning streak to 16 matches and sets up a mouthwatering third-round clash with Petra Kvitova.
The two former Grand Slam champions have faced each other 10 times previously, with Kvitova holding a narrow 6-4 head-to-head advantage.
The match promises to be a thrilling encounter, and Świątek will be looking to continue her dominant run at Flushing Meadows.
