Iga Swiatek is dominating her Australian Open opponents the way no one has at Melbourne Park since Maria Sharapova in 2013. Swiatek’s latest lopsided win came via a 6-1, 6-2 score in the quarter-finals against No. 8 seed Emma Navarro on Wednesday.
The No. 2-seeded Swiatek not only has not dropped a set so far in the tournament, but also has lost a grand total of only 14 games as she seeks her first title at Melbourne Park and sixth Grand Slam trophy overall. Sharapova was the last woman to reach the Australian Open semi-finals having dropped fewer than 15 games.
