It was a close contest in the fourth round match between Sorana Cirstea and Iga Swiatek at Margaret Court Arena on Monday. After losing the first set 5-7, Swiatek bounced back to clinch the next two and made her way into the quarter-finals of the 2022 Australian Open. This is Swiatek’s debut into the quarters at Melbourne.

True to the moment, Swiatek got emotional as she teared up while celebrating the victory. The Polish star also mentioned the same during the on-court interview after the match.

“For me, a week without crying is not a week. I cry when I lose, I cry when I win, it is like that”, Swiatek said.

It was an intense battle right from the start as Cirstea gave it her best to reach the last eight but Swiatek didn’t panic under pressure and managed to play her usual, aggressive self to register a comeback victory.

Next up for Iga will be either Kaia Kanepi or Aryna Sabalenka. Both the players will take to the Margaret Court Arena soon to find a place in the last eight at the happy slam.

Coming to Swiatek, the Polish star managed to get past all her previous opponents in straight sets in Melbourne. Considered one of the favorites to win the title, Swiatek defeated the likes of Rebecca Peterson and Daria Kasatkina to reach the quarter-finals.

Iga made a positive start to her 2022 WTA campaign as she reached the semi-finals at the Adelaide International. Having entered the tournament as a defending champion, Swiatek lost to Ashleigh Barty in the semi-finals in straight sets.

If Swiatek gets past Kanepi/Sabalenka, she will have to face either Alize Cornet or Danielle Collins in the semi-finals. With how the draw is placed, the Polish rising star will definitely fancy her chances to claim a second Grand Slam title at the ‘happy slam’ this year.
