Iga Swiatek Routs 'Best Friend' Kaja Juvan To Reach US Open Last 16
World number one Iga Swiatek demolished "best friend" Kaja Juvan in straight sets on Friday to march into the last 16 at the US Open. Swiatek, who has been a close friend of Juvan since her youth tennis playing days, showed no mercy to the Slovenian world No.145 with a 6-0, 6-1 victory on the Louis Armstrong Stadium. "For sure I didn't like the fact I was winning with my best friend," Swiatek said afterwards. "It was like playing against a sister because I've known her for so long. "I don't have many friends but she's my best friend." The 49-minute drubbing sends defending champion Swiatek into a fourth-round meeting with either Latvian 20th seed Jelena Ostapenko or Bernarda Pera of the United States.
