JAKARTA - Iga Swiatek beat Emma Raducanu with a landslide score of 6-1 and 6-0 in the third round of the Australian Open 2025, Saturday, January 18, 2025.
It was the 26th match in which the Polish player recorded a set of 6-0 at the Grand Slam.
Swiatek emphasized that the final score was not a benchmark, but what he looked like.
"I played a few punches, which I thought would make me train for it. I felt the ball listening to me."
"All the tactics and everything I want to do, I can do it. So, I keep going. This match is perfect for me."
"I'm not going to say I'm cruel. I'm just trying to have the same attitude and focus no matter how much the score is."
"However, I don't want to show anything. I'm just playing my game. If it works, why stop?"
"I've also seen a lot of matches when someone is left behind like 2-5 or something. You have to keep going. Nothing ends until it's over," said Swiatek.
