Swiatek Advances to Fourth Round Amidst Impressive Career Record

Iga Swiatek, the reigning Wimbledon champion, notched her 400th career win as she advanced to the fourth round of the China Open. Swiatek’s stunning performance included a decisive 6-0 first set win against Colombian Camila Osorio, who was forced to withdraw from the match due to health concerns during the second set’s opening game.

Reflecting on the match, Swiatek expressed sympathy for Osorio while recognizing the strength of her own game in the first set. “For sure, I’m sorry for Camila, because she’s always giving her 100%,” Swiatek noted. “But overall, I feel like I played good in the first set and really used my game to push Camila.”
