Iga Swiatek delivers her verdict on the courts and balls at the Australian Open and has different view to some other players
Iga Swiatek dismantled Emma Raducanu in straight sets to book her place in the fourth round of the Australian Open for the fifth time in her career.
As the first week of the Australian Open draws to a close, several players have their sights firmly set on the title.
Swiatek is one of them, having dropped just ten games on her way to the fourth round.
Her latest win was arguably her best, as Swiatek beat Emma Raducanu, 6-0, 6-1, handing the Brit one of the heaviest defeats of her young career.
She remarkably only dropped one extra game during her second-round match as Swiatek took down Rebecca Sramkova, 6-0, 6-2.
The conditions at this year’s tournament seem to suit the WTA star, as the Pole has now given her thoughts on the Australian Open courts.
Iga Swiatek says she ‘hasn’t noticed’ the 2025 Australian Open courts being slower
In her post-match press conference, Swiatek was asked whether she thinks the courts are slower at the 2025 Australian Open.
“I haven’t noticed the courts being slower,” she said.
“So for me, they’re fast anyway.”
Swiatek has, however, noticed a change in the balls at this year’s tournament.
