Former French Open champion Iga Swiatek continued her consistent streak at Grand Slams, dominating from the baseline to roll over Daria Kasatkina of Russia 6-2 6-3 on Saturday to storm into the Australian Open fourth round.

It is the sixth consecutive major in which the 20-year-old from Poland has made at least the fourth round.

“That stat, I'm really proud of it right now that I achieved it, but in the morning I would say it gave me a little bit more pressure.” Seventh-seeded Swiatek, who won the clay court Grand Slam at Roland Garros in 2020, hit 24 winners and broke Kasatkina's serve twice in each set to cruise through the contest at Margaret Court Arena in one hour and 34 minutes. Swiatek felt she was able to tactically disrupt Kasatkina from using her topspin-heavy forehand.

Swiatek will meet either another Russian in 10th seed Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova or 38th-ranked Sorana Cirstea of Romania next for a place in the quarterfinals at Melbourne Park. Taking one match at a time has worked well for Swiatek and she was not planning to change that approach.
