Swiatek Knocks Out Saville
Defending champion Iga Swiatek got her 2022 campaign off to a great start with a straight sets win over Australia’s Daria Saville in the first round on Tuesday.
The 20-year-old Pole was tested in the first set by Saville, with both players breaking each other twice in the first seven games, but eventually Swiatek took control, breaking the Aussie a third time before sealing the set.
She was even more dominant in the second set, breaking Saville in the very first game and then again in the last game of the set to win the match 6-3, 6-3 in an hour and 19 minutes. Broken twice in the first set, Swiatek didn’t face a single break point in what was a dominating second set performance.
The 2020 French Open champion had beaten Belinda Bencic in the final to win the Adelaide International last year. She went on to add another title in May, winning her maiden WTA 1000 title in Rome, by double bageling Karolina Pliskova in the final.

Fernandez Powers Past Alexandrova
Canada’s Leylah Fernandez made a solid start to the year, overpowering World No. 34 Ekaterina Alexandrova in the first round on Monday.
The 2021 U.S. Open finalist didn’t face a break point in the entire match and won 86% of first-serve points on her way to a 6-3, 6-4 victory. The 19-year-old feisty Canadian had eight chances to break the Russian’s serve in the match and she capitalised on two of those occasions, once in both the sets.
Fernandez, making her debut in Adelaide, had a breakout season last year, winning her maiden WTA title in Monterrey and finishing runner-up to Emma Raducanu at the U.S. Open.
The aggressive left-hander had accounted for three top-10 players at the U.S. Open last year, defeating No. 3 Naomi Osaka in the third round, No. 5 Elina Svitolina in the quarterfinala nd No. 2 Aryna Sabalenka in the semifinal.
She would be hoping to build on her brilliant start with another power-packed performance on Thursday.
Swiatek v Fernandez Prediction and Tip
