6-0, retirement and still undefeated: Swiatek advances to Beijing quarterfinals
Iga Swiatek comfortably qualified for the quarterfinals of the Beijing WTA 500 by benefiting from Camila Osorio's retirement.
Troubled by physical problems, the 23-year-old Colombian preferred to withdraw after the first set.
Meanwhile, the world number two once again displayed quality tennis to secure her second 6-0 of the week, but also her 8th consecutive victory since the start of the tournament, a first since its creation in 2004.
For a spot in the quarterfinals, Swiatek will now face Emma Navarro (17th), a player she already defeated convincingly at the Australian Open earlier this year (6-1, 6-2, quarterfinals).
