Command Analysis
Iga Swiatek advanced into the round of 16 quite easily. World No. 1 got an easy draw, so she experienced no problems in first rounds, beating all opponents in straight sets.
A first round match against Niemeier was the toughest one for Iga. German player possesses a powerful serve, so she managed to put up a good fight (6:4, 7:5). After that, Polish player easily went past Osorio Serrano (6:2, 6:3) and Bucsa (6:0, 6:1).
Elena Rybakina is enjoying a breakthrough in Australian Open, getting into the round of 16 for the first time in her career. Before 2023, Kazakhstani player was unable to get past the third round in Melbourne.
At the start of the tournament, Elena easily beat Cocciaretto (7:5, 6:3) and Juvan (6:2, 6:1). But a third round match against Collins turned out to be a tough challenge for Elena. World No. 25 managed to beat the American player in three sets (6:2, 5:7, 6:2).
