Iga Swiatek Advances Dominantly at the National Bank Open
Wimbledon champion Iga Swiatek demonstrated her dominance at the National Bank Open, securing her place in the third round after defeating China’s Guo Hanyu. Swiatek, who hadn’t played since her victory in the Wimbledon final against Amanda Anisimova, where she achieved a score of 6-0, 6-0, started the match with a 4-0 lead, extending her winning streak to 24 games.In the next round, the Polish tennis player, seeded number two, will face Eva Lys of Germany, who won against Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova. Jessica Pegula, two-time defending champion, also secured her advance by defeating Maria Sakkari. Also, Amanda Anisimova, seeded number five, defeated Lulu Sun. Madison Keys of the United States, seeded number six, also advanced after defeating Laura Siegemund of Germany. Naomi Osaka of Japan achieved a comeback to defeat Liudmila Samsonova.I think I played a very solid match today. Playing the first match on hard court after a rather long break on the surface is always tricky, so I’m happy that I focused on myself, adapted to the conditions, and played well.
