Seventh seed Iga Swiatek rallied from a set down to edge Romania’s Sorana Cirstea 5-7 6-3 6-3 in a baseline slugfest on Monday to book a spot in the last eight at the Australian Open.

The 20-year-old Swiatek, who won the French Open title in 2020, came into her first meeting against the 38th-ranked Cirstea in dominant form having not lost a set at the Melbourne Park Grand Slam in her three matches last week. But Cirstea, 31, put the Pole under pressure for the first time in the tournament with some heavy-hitting from the back of the court and Swiatek had to dig deep to find her way back into the contest and reach her first Australian Open quarter-final.

Iga Swiatek comes back to beat Sorana Cirstea 5-7, 6-3, 6-3 and reach the #AusOpen QFs for the 1st time.

Some big shot making from boths but Sorana looked super tired since the middle of the 3rd set. Still a great tournament for her.

Swiatek sealed the contest on the first match point with her 29th winner and will meet Belarusian second seed Aryna Sabalenka or Kaia Kanepi of Estonia for a place in the last four. “For me, a week without crying is not a week. I cry when I lose; I cry when I win,” an emotional Swiatek said on court.

Euro 2024: Saliba and France + Belgium & Ukraine beaten

Morning. Let’s start with last night’s game between France and Austria, which saw William Saliba start for Les Bleus. The chatter pre-tournament was that he’d be on the bench, and I have to say I’m glad he got the nod. A player of his quality can only improve further by playing at the highest level
