Iga Swiatek vs Eva Lys preview

Second seed Iga Swiatek will look to keep her quest of winning a first title in Melbourne alive when she takes on Eva Lys of Germany in the fourth round of the Australian Open. The Pole came to Melbourne this year after taking Poland to the final of the United Cup. She won all her matches en route to the final, where she lost 4-6, 4-6 to Coco Gauff.

The second seed started her campaign in Melbourne with a 6-3, 6-4 win over the No.1 doubles player, Katerina Siniakova. She then registered another dominant 6-0, 6-2 win over Rebecca Sramkova in the second round.

Swiatek faced her first tricky opponent, Emma Raducanu, in the third round. Even though the Brit was unseeded, it was expected she would put up a stern resistance to the Pole. However, it turned out to be a one-sided affair as the former World No.1 lost just one game, winning the match 6-1, 6-0 against the Former US Open champion.

Meanwhile, Eva Lys has one of the most intriguing narratives at this year's Australian Open. The German player had lost her qualifying match 1-6, 6-2, 4-6 to Destanee Aiva and failed to get through the main draw. However, Lys entered the event as a lucky loser, replacing 14th-seeded Anna Kalinskaya who withdrew from the tournament.

Lys began her campaign with a 6-2, 6-2 win over home favorite Kimberly Birrell, She then fought past Varavara Gracheva in a three-set battle, winning 6-2, 3-6, 6-4. In the third round, she won 4-6, 6-3, 6-3 over Jacqueline Cristian to reach her maiden fourth round at a Major.
