- World No 1 beats Colombian Camila Osorio 6-2, 6-3
- Polish player slowly living up to top billing in Melbourne
Iga Swiatek has stepped up her game to restore order with a more routine Australian Open second-round win at Melbourne Park. The world No 1 advanced to the last 32 on Wednesday with a resounding 6-2, 6-3 victory over Colombian Camila Osorio.
Swiatek had to scrap her way back from a service break down in the second set of her less than convincing Open opener against Jule Niemeier on Monday night. That was the Pole’s first outing since suffering a crushing loss to world No 3 Jessica Pegula at the season-opening United Cup before withdrawing from the Adelaide International 2 with a shoulder issue.
