Swiatek survives scare Down Under
Bangkok Post
|January 20, 2026
Iga Swiatek survived a fright yesterday before battling past Chinese qualifier Yuan Yue to launch her bid for a career Grand Slam in unconvincing fashion at the Australian Open.
-
The Polish second seed was pushed to the limit in the first set on Rod Laver Arena before prevailing 7-6 (7/5), 6-3 after more than two hours to set up a clash next with Czech player Marie Bouzkova.
In other results yesterday, Coco Gauff kicked off her bid for a maiden Australian Open title with a thumping first-round win, but men's contender Felix Auger-Aliassime exited abruptly with a bout of cramp on a hot afternoon at Melbourne Park.
After record crowds crammed into Melbourne Park on the opening day on Sunday, the venue was heaving again under cloudy skies, with home fans buzzing as local hero Alex de Minaur motored into the second round.
