BEIJING (AP) — Wimbledon champion Iga Swiatek defeated Camila
Osorio for her 400th career win and advanced to the fourth round
at the China Open on Monday.
Swiatek, who became the first player to register 25 or more wins
at WTA-1000 events for three consecutive seasons with her
straight sets victory of Yuan Yue in the third round, showed no
signs of slowing down as she dismantled her Colombian opponent
6-0 in the first set, before Osorio retired from the match in
the opening game of the second set.
Top-seeded Swiatek, who won last week’s Korea Open in Seoul, has
also won the French Open four times and the U.S. Open once among
her six Grand Slam singles titles, next plays American Emma
Navarro.
In earlier third-round matches Monday, fourth-seeded Mirra
Andreeva beat Jessica Bouzas Maneiro 6-4, 6-1 and Marta Kostyuk
beat Aliaksandra Sasnovich 6-4, 6-2. Navarro was leading Lois
Boisson 6-2, 1-0 when the French player retired from the match.
In the ATP 500 men's tournament being held concurrently in
Beijing, top-seeded Jannik Sinner cruised into the semifinals
with a 6-1, 7-5 defeat of Fabian Marozsan.
The 24-year-old Italian will next play third-seeded Alex de
Minaur, who advanced by walkover after his opponent Jakub Mensik
retired with injury trailing 4-1 in the first set.
Third-ranked Alexander Zverev plays No. 18 Daniil Medvedev in a
quarterfinal match later Monday.
