Defending champion in Adelaide, Iga Swiatek will face Victoria Azarenka in the quarter-finals. Thursday, the Polish made short work (6-1, 6-2) of the Canadian Leylah Fernandez.
Iga Swiatek on the way to the double? Victorious in the last edition of the Adelaide tournament at the start of last year, the Polish woman can hope to keep her trophy as the quarter-finals loom. The world number 9 and number 5 seed this week in Australia had not already spent much time on the court for her entry into the tournament, against the Polish qualifier Saville (victory 6-3, 6-3). She took even less time to get rid of Leylah Fernandez. Swiatek left only three games (6-1, 6-2 in 1h15) to the young Canadian, astonishing finalist of the last US Open. Victoria Azarenka is now waiting the winner of Roland-Garros 2020. The Belarusian confirmed Thursday against the Australian Hon (6-3, 7-5) her first round feat against Paula Badosa.
