This was an opportunity to settle scores with the Italian player for Świątek, as she defeated the Pole in their previous encounter, back in 2019, also in the second round of Australian Open.



The Pole was focused from the beginning of the match, swiftly taking control of proceedings. She gained the lead and won the first set easily 6:2.



In the second set Giorgi managed to break the Polish player, but it didn’t prevent the Polish player from taking the lead again. Świątek kept the advantage and won the second set 6:4 and thus the match.



Her next opponent will be the winner of French Open, Fiona Ferro from France. Both players have never faced one another.

?Pretty happy with today's performance. Looking forward for the 3rd round! Thank you for all the support. I heard you and it was so motivating!
