Iga Swiatek will face Naomi Osaka in the fourth round of the Italian Open following a resounding 6-1 6-0 win over home favourite Elisabetta Cocciaretto on Sunday.

Swiatek booked her spot in the next round in only 65 minutes, with a hard-fought hold in game four of the opening set the only game Cocciaretto took off the Pole.

The fourth seed only gave up five points on her own serve throughout the first set, and she was not truly tested in the second until the final game. 

In fact, Cocciaretto won more points in that game (seven) than she had on Swiatek's serve all match up to that point (six), saving three match points then carving out three break-point opportunities.

But the Italian was unable to avoid the bagel, with Swiatek finally getting over the line at the fourth attempt.  

Swiatek's next opponent, Osaka, got over the line even faster in her third-round match, dispatching Diana Shanider 6-1 6-2 in 54 minutes. 

Swiatek boasts a 2-1 head-to-head record against Osaka, having saved a match point en route to a 7-6 (7-1) 1-6 7-5 win in their last meeting at the 2024 French Open.

Data Debrief: Another bagel for Swiatek

Swiatek loves a bagel. Her 6-0 success in the second set of Sunday's match was her 10th set won to love at the Italian Open.

She is only the fourth woman to achieve that feat, after Chris Evert (16), Gabriela Sabatini and Serena Williams (11 each).
