China Open – Swiatek wins 400th match to enter round of 16, Pegula eliminates Raducanu

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.

“For sure, I’m sorry for Camila, because she’s always giving her 100%,” Swiatek said. “But overall, like besides that, I feel like I played good in the first set and really used my game to push Camila.”

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. She plays American Emma Navarro.

In earlier third-round matches on 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.

Also, fifth-seeded Jessica Pegula saved three match points before knocking out Emma Raducanu 3-6, 7-6(9), 6-0 to make the fourth round. Raducanu also wasted three match points against Barbora Krejcikova in a second-round 4-6, 7-6(10), 6-1 loss at the Korea Open on Sept 18.

Pegula improved her record against the Briton to 3-1.
