65 minutes and it's over! It's unbelievable what the Wimbledon finalist did in Montreal.
6-2, 6-2, and it was over. With that score, Iga Świątek defeated Eva Lys in the third round of the "thousander" in Montreal. You can read more about that match here , but in this article, let's focus on the other matches, as they were also interesting. A little before 3:00 a.m. Polish time, the well-known Amanda Ansisimova and Emma Raducanu took the court. Initially, one might have expected a close match, but that was not the case at all.
The American proved to be significantly better than the Briton. It took her just 65 minutes to completely crush her. In the first set, Raducanu managed to win just two games (although one was even broken by her opponent), and in the second set it was even worse, winning only one. And that came in the very end, when she was already down 0-5. This result is important news for Świątek, as well as her former coach, Tomasz Wiktorowski, who works with Naomi Osaka in Montreal.
The Japanese player will now face Anastasija Sevastova, and if she wins (and she's the favorite), she'll face either Anisimova or Elina Svitolina in the quarterfinals. Therefore, Wiktorowski will undoubtedly be watching the Wimbledon finalist's match. As for Świątek, she could potentially face the American in the semifinals. In that case, it would be a repeat of the Grand Slam tournament in London, where the Pole defeated her 6-0, 6-0. For now, however, she must face Clara Tauson.
The second match of the night in Montreal didn't produce any surprises. However, there was another upset. Around 3:10 a.m., the match between the aforementioned Svitolina and Anna Kalinskaya began. Svitolina proved much stronger, dispatching her opponent in just 56 minutes. The score, 6-1, 6-1, speaks for itself. The Ukrainian will now face Anisimova, and as you can see, both players are in good form, so this could be a very interesting matchup in the Canadian tournament.
