World No 1 Iga Swiatek makes impressive return with opening victory at Qatar Open

16.02.2023 - 01:21 thenationalnews.com

World No 1 Iga Swiatek made an impressive return to action with an emphatic victory over Danielle Collins at the Qatar Open on Wednesday.

Swiatek, playing her first match since the Australian Open, proved too strong for the American in Doha as she swept to a 6-0, 6-1 win in just 53 minutes in their second-round match.

The Pole lost just four points in the first set, which she wrapped up in 21 minutes. After losing nine successive games, American Collins finally registered on the scoreboard at 3-1 in the second set, but Swiatek’s success was a formality.

She will now play world No 9 Belinda Bencic in the quarter-finals after the Swiss seventh seed came from behind to beat Victoria Azarenka 1-6, 7-6, 6-4.

How the Dodgers persisted to a World Series parade: 'No asterisk on this one'

NEW YORK — The Los Angeles Dodgers had heard the minimizing and belittling of their short-season championship in the hours and days and months and years since they dogpiled between the mound and home plate at Globe Life Field four seasons ago. They believed what they did in 2020 amid adverse circumstances and a Texas bubble might have been harder and required even more than the typical season.
