Swiatek once again wreaked havoc at Melbourne Park, taking only 59 minutes to sweep away the biggest dark horse of the Australian Open, the German girl Lis, ending her magical path.
After Leith beat Christian in the last round to reach the round of 16 and become Swiatek's opponent in one-eighth, almost everyone thought that the German girl would be difficult to fight against the Polish girl.
From the first set, because Leith's serve was not threatening, and in the face of Swiatek's strong serve, there was no way to deal with it, so the match was prematurely one-sided. At that time, many people were not surprised to see the German girl swallow the egg and lose this set.
The second set was just as sunny as the first, and if it hadn't been for Leiss seizing the opportunity to get the only game in the fourth game, it would have ended this year's Australian Open with a double egg.
Although the second set was just as ugly as the first, it should be emphasized that she still used her tenacity in the sixth game of the second set to deliver the best game of the whole match.
In this game, which took more than 10 minutes, in the face of Swiatek's strength, instead of collapsing directly due to the hopelessness of the reversal, Leith showed the outside world the power of her forehand. It's just that in the end, the strength of Swiatek is much worse, even though he has experienced many deuces before and after, and resolved many set points, he finally lost the game that decided the life and death of the German girl, so that Swiatek won the game with his own serve, and finally sealed the victory 6-1.
Of course, although it is not a very glorious thing to be the heroine of Swiatek's second tragedy at this Australian Open, it has greatly exceeded her expectations that Leas can come to such a round, especially in front of Swiatek.
After failing to qualify for the Australian Open, Liss was ready to go home, and if it weren't for Karinskaya's retirement, the German wouldn't have had a chance to appear in the main draw of the Australian Open. It's just that no one would have imagined that such a lucky loser would firmly seize the opportunity given to him by fate, defeating Birel and Gracheva in the first two rounds, and advancing into the second week of the Australian Open in the third round by reversing world No. 82 Christian, becoming a dark horse.
After the defeat to Swiatek, the 22-year-old German girl was in a really good state of mind, from shaking hands with Swiatek to walking to the referee together, with a happy smile on her face, it can be seen that she is quite satisfied with her achievement in the round of 16 of the Australian Open.
In addition, the duel with a master like Swiatek in the quarterfinals has allowed Leith to see the huge gap between himself and the top masters in terms of serving and returning, as well as mastering the rhythm of the game and how to connect with it, which I believe will be of great help to the future progress of the German girl.
With the top 16 at the Australian Open, the world ranking of Bansard has also come to the TOP100 from the original 128th, and it has received a lot of prize money of more than 1.9 million yuan.
After Swiatek reached the quarterfinals of the women's singles with Sabalenka and Gauff, another F4 member of the women's tennis team, Rybakina, fell out early.
As the sixth seed in this year's Australian Open, Rybakina has shown good competitive form since starting the new season in the United Cup, and has continued her hot hand in the warm-up matches after coming to the Australian Open.
At that time, seeing Sabalenka, Gauff, Swiatek and Rybakina advancing simultaneously at the Australian Open, many people wondered whether the final four would meet in the semifinals, so that everyone could enjoy the women's tennis F4.
Unexpectedly, Rybakina played against the American girl Keys in the quarterfinals, and finally lost to her opponent in three sets, becoming the first girl to be left out of the F4 team, which is a bit regrettable. Now, with the American girl Gauff losing to the Spanish beauty Badosa in two sets, seeing another women's tennis F4 member fall behind, everyone's regret is even greater.
However, many people did not criticize the Kazakh beauty for Rybakina's stop in the round of 16, because she was injured before reaching the round of 16. Before the match against Case, many people were worried about whether Rybakina would suddenly retire and finally stay on the court and fight for three sets, and this kind of competitive sportsmanship has gone beyond the victory itself.
Now with Rybakina out of the bottom half, Swiatek has a greater hope of reaching the final, as long as the Polish girl does not drop the chain, and next against the rich American girl Navarro, I believe that Swiatek should not have much problem securing a place in the semi-finals.
From Raducanu to Leith, the in-form Swiatek has already caused two tragedies back-to-back at the Australian Open, will the Polish girl concoct such a cruel thing next? As the Australian Open enters its climax, it has already stimulated the imagination of fans and netizens!(Source: Tennis House Author: Starry Sky of Moon River)
