Iga Swiatek showed no mercy as she ended “lucky loser” Eva Lys’s historic run at the Australian Open on Monday, the World No. 2 marching into the quarter-finals 6-0, 6-1. There was to be no happy ending to Lys’s incredible story against the ruthless five-time Grand Slam champion from Poland for a place in the semi-finals. “There’s a lot to improve. I don’t feel like I’m in my peak yet,” said Swiatek, who has dropped only two games in her last two matches.
