Norrie vs De Minaur: Tale of the Tape In the women's event former semi-finalist Iga Swiatek conceded just three games to speed past Viktorija Golubic 6-2 6-1 in 66 minutes and book her place in the fourth round where she will take on Marta Kostyuk. "For sure it was a good day, and I'm really happy with the way I played," said Swiatek, who will be bidding to reach her second quarter-final in Canada. "Even though the first game wasn't super smooth, I knew I can start from the beginning, and then it went my way and I could find my rhythm." The six-time Grand Slam champion landed 18 winners to Golubic's five and conceded just 14 points on serve. Swiatek leads Kostyuk 3-1 but the Ukrainian world No 11 won their most recent meeting this year at the French Open in straight sets.
