MELBOURNE (Reuters) -World number one Iga Swiatek crashed out of the Australian Open at the hands of Czech teenager Linda Noskova in the third round on Saturday to further deplete an already weakened women's draw heading into the second week at Melbourne Park.
While only three of the top 10 women's seeds remain, the main contenders for the men's title have all breezed into the fourth round with Carlos Alcaraz, Daniil Medvedev and Alexander Zverev joining the charge on day seven.
