Australian Open: Iga Swiatek Secures Opening Round Victory Over Sofia Kenin
Rod Laver Arena: World No. 1 Iga Swiatek showcased her resilience and skill, securing a hard-fought victory against former champion Sofia Kenin 7-6(2) 6-2 in the opening round of Australian Open at Rod Laver Arena, here on Tuesday.
The encounter proved to be a stern test of Swiatek's credentials, with Kenin seeking redemption for her loss to the Polish sensation in the 2020 French Open final.
Despite a strong start from Kenin, who broke Swiatek's serve twice in the first set, the determined world No. 1 rallied back, forcing a tie-break and ultimately claiming the set. Swiatek's dominance in the second set paved the way for a convincing 6-2 finish, setting up a second-round clash with Danielle Collins.
