Everything came so easily for Iga Swiatek during a 6-1, 6-0 victory over Emma Raducanu on Saturday in the only Australian Open women's third-round match between two past Grand Slam champions — if you thought that meant it would be close,

It was a year of frequent coaching changes for Raducanu. Having won the U.S. Open with Andrew Richardson, she replaced him with Torben Beltz just two months after winning the title. By April 2022, Beltz was out and Dimitry Tursunov, who had worked with Annett Kontaveit while she reached No. 2 in the world, was in.

The third-round matchup of major champions at the Australian Open wound up as a major mismatch. Second-seeded Iga Swiatek of Poland trounced Great Britain's Emma Raducanu 6-1, 6-0 on Saturday to advance to the Round of 32.
