Raducanu after his defeat by Swiatek: "It lets me know where I stand".

This Saturday, Iga Swiatek crushed Emma Raducanu in the third round of the Australian Open (6-1, 6-0), conceding just one game in just over an hour.

The Briton was present at the press conference and tried to find explanations after her heavy setback.

"I knew that if I wanted to win, I'd have to play a really good match. Iga is an excellent player. Today, she played her game, but I also think that I didn't necessarily play well.

This combo is generally not positive. At times, I'd get the impression that I was making good shots, but on the following points, she'd do the same thing and I'd have to start from scratch.

She moves well on the court. But I also think that certain aspects of my game weren't up to scratch.

When a player like that plays like that, it makes the match even more complicated than it was before I took to the court.

I want to work even harder to make certain things more regular in my game. The score is heavy, but it lets me know where I stand and what I need to work on.

The score is a reflection of what's happening on court, but I feel that when I don't win enough of my service games, it has an impact on the rest of my game, because it adds pressure on the return games", she assured reporters.
