Swiatek Cruises Past Sasnovich at French Open
Iga Swiatek, the young Polish tennis star, continued her dominant run at the French Open, securing a straightforward victory over Aliaksandra Sasnovich in the third round.
The statistics paint a compelling picture of Swiatek’s performance. She committed only two unforced errors, won an astounding 94% of points behind her first serve, and breezed through five service games without dropping a single point. Swiatek wrapped up the first set in just 19 minutes, showcasing her sheer dominance on the clay courts.
“Swiatek’s only moment of frustration came when she missed two break points on Sasnovich’s serve in the second set, but she quickly regained her composure and sealed the third set to seal the victory.”
This commanding performance stood in stark contrast to Swiatek’s second-round match against former world number one Naomi Osaka, where she had to save a match point before emerging victorious in a hard-fought three-set battle.
Should Swiatek successfully defend her French Open title, she will become the first woman since Justine Henin in 2007 to win the prestigious clay-court event three times in a row. The young Polish sensation is currently on an 18-match winning streak at Roland Garros, having not lost a single match since the 2021 quarter-finals.
Moreover, Swiatek’s recent dominance extends beyond the French Open, as she is currently on a 16-match winning streak on clay courts this season, having claimed impressive titles in Madrid and Rome before arriving in Paris.
