MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Iga Swiatek had the ball dancing to her tune in a dominant victory over Emma Raducanu at the Australian Open on Saturday and the five-times Grand Slam champion said she had never felt better at the year's opening Grand Slam.
The 23-year-old Pole has never lifted the title at Melbourne Park but made her intentions clear with a commanding 6-1 6-0 win over former U.S. Open champion Raducanu to reach the last 16, where she will next face lucky loser Eva Lys.
