In this competition, 22nd seeded Raibakina disturbed Swiatek with his sharp service and won 6-4, 6-4 in the match that lasted for an hour and a half. The Raebakina will take on the 2017 French Open champion Yalena Ostapaneko in the quarter-finals who defeated Coco Goff 7-5, 6-3 in another match. Like Raibakina, Latvia’s Ostapenko has also reached the final eight of the Australian Open for the first time. Swiatek is a three -time Grand Slam Champion. He won the French Open and US Open title last year. Raibakina’s ranking does not properly assess his skills as he did not get any benefit in the ranking after becoming Wimbledon Champion last year. The WTA and ATP then did not add points from the All England Club to not enter Wimbledon to Russia and Belarus players in the rankings of the players. Raibakina was born in Moscow but has been representing Kazakhstan since 2018.
