Iga Swiatek is the biggest favourite to win the 2023 Australian Open, and she's making sure that everyone is aware of that.

The 21-year-old Pole already experienced her first loss of the season, losing to Jessica Pegula at the United Cup. Then, she entered the WTA draw of the 2023 Australian Open as the top-seed and defeated every opponent without losing a set so far.

First, Swiatek defeated Jule Niemeier, and then she quickly ousted also Camila Osorio. In the third round, world no. 1 faced off against world no. 100, Cristina Busca.

Swiatek dominated the match from start to finish. She hit 15 winners while making only six unforced errors and won more than 82% of points on her serve.

On the other hand, her opponent couldn't find her rhythm as she hit only four winners and made 21 unforced errors. Also thanks to that, Swiatek was up 6-0, 5-0 after around 50 minutes and it seemed that she won't allow her opponent to win a single game.

Yet, the Spanish player fought and succeeded in winning her only game of the match, as the Pole cruised to a comfortable victory, 6-0, 6-1, in 55 minutes.

In the fourth round of the 2023 Australian Open, world no. 1 will face off against the 2022 Wimbledon champion, Elena Rybakina, who defeated her at an exhibition event a few weeks ago.
