On January 24, Beijing time, the fourth round of the Australian Open women's singles, the big black Ma Costia challenged the No. 7 seed Swatek. In the first set, Swatek lost one set 5-7. After that, Swatek completed a big comeback with two consecutive sets of two 6-3 consecutive sets, and eliminated Costia 2-1 to advance to the quarterfinals.
Undoubtedly, this duel, the 2020 French Open champion Swatak is the absolute favorite to win! Born in 2001, Svatek is very young, winning the French Open title 2 years ago, making the post-00s famous, creating the history of Polish national tennis, and the world ranking is also once in the top four! Last season, Swateke stopped in the round of 16 consecutively at the Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon and US Open, and in the performance of the 4 Grand Slams, Swatake's performance declined. At the first Grand Slam Australian Open of the season, Swatek reached the round of 16 and ushered in the familiar women's singles quarterfinals against the big black Horse Costia. The 34-year-old veteran Costia from Romania broke out at the Australian Open, overturning 2 seeded players in the first three rounds, sweeping 2-0 Wimbledon champion Kvitova in the first round and Pavlyutchenkova 2-1 in the third round.
In the first set, Costia won 7-5 with the advantage of one more break, leading Svatek 1-0. In the second set, Swatak scored a key break, 6-3 in the set, and pulled back a city. In the decider, Swatak took the lead in the fifth set, but in the sixth set, Costia completed the break and the two sides returned to the same running line. In the seventh set, Swartec broke Kostia's initiation round again, and the break war was staged. In the eighth set, Swataker held the lead, and the innings were 5-3 to formally establish the advantage. In the ninth set, Swatak broke again, winning 6-3 in the set and reversing the score 2-1 to advance.
After the big black Horse Costia regrettably stopped in the round of 16, after Svatek reversed the promotion 2-1, 7 people have been identified in the women's singles quarterfinals of this Australian Open:
Top half, Barty vs Pegura, Karegitkova vs Keys
Lower half, Collins vs. Cornett, Swataker vs Sabalenka/Canepi.
It can be seen that there are still 4 people left in the top 8 seeds: 1st seed Barty, No. 2 seed Sabalenka, No. 4 seed Karegitkova, No. 7 seed Svatek, of which Barty, Karejicova, Svatek have all advanced to the quarterfinals, only the world's 2nd Sabalenka is still in a state of pending, and her women's singles 1/8 final with Estonian veteran Kahnepi has not yet begun.
