Iga Swiatek responds to controversial moment in her match with Emma Navarro after new experience she’s never had before

Iga Swiatek has continued her dominant run at the Australian Open after beating eighth seed Emma Navarro to the loss of just three games.

Swiatek has been praised at the Australian Open after dropping only 14 games en route to her second semi-final in Melbourne.

This includes victories for Swiatek over Emma Raducanu, Katerina Siniakova, Rebecca Sramkova and Eva Lys, before she faced her first seeded opponent in Navarro.

In contrast, Navarro had only played three set matches en route to her first Australian Open quarter-final, before losing to Swiatek in an hour and a half.

This leaves the women’s singles draw just one round away from a first Grand Slam final between Swiatek and Aryna Sabalenka.

Iga Swiatek reveals whether she knew the ball double bounced against Emma Navarro

Despite the comprehensive scoreline that Swiatek beat Navarro by, there was a controversial moment that came in the second set of the match.

Embroiled in a rally at 2-2, Swiatek sprinted to the ball before hitting it over and winning the point a couple of shots later.

However, Navarro complained to umpire Eva Asderaki-Moore and suggested that the ball had bounced twice before Swiatek hit it.
