Emma Raducanu's Australian Open hopes were extinguished in emphatic fashion by a rampant Iga Swiatek on Saturday.

Raducanu was playing in a third-round match at Melbourne Park for the first time in her career, but the 2021 US Open winner was no match for Swiatek.

The world number two controlled the court at Rod Laver Arena, and powered to a 6-1 6-0 triumph in just 70 minutes.

Swiatek showed her class with some exceptional shots, and did not offer Raducanu a single break point throughout, despite having to bounce back from 0-30 down in the final game.

A brilliant forehand winner teed up match point, and a long return from Raducanu sealed Swiatek's passage into the last 16.

While Raducanu will lick her wounds after a fourth career loss from as many meetings with Swiatek, the Pole – who was knocked out at this stage last year – looks well primed for a deep run in the season's first major.

We are all spelling speed incorrectly; it should be spelt

Data Debrief: Raducanu's Swiatek hoodoo rolls on

Raducanu has now lost in straight sets in all four of her matches against Swiatek.

Swiatek, meanwhile, has won her past 17 matches against opponents ranked outside the top 20.

At grand slams and WTA 1000 events combined, the 23-year-old has won 175 matches since the start of 2020.

Raducanu, on the other hand, is 1-8 after losing the first set against top 10 opponents, only defeating Jessica Pegula at Eastbourne last year.
