The 23-year-old Pole, ranked world No. 2 by the Women's Tennis Association (WTA), opened her 2025 Australian Open campaign with a 6-3, 6-4 win over Czech player Kateřina Siniaková.
Up next for the Polish tennis star at Melbourne Park is Slovakia's Rebecca Šramková.
Świątek reached the third round of the women’s singles at last year's Australian Open, where she was eliminated by Linda Nosková of the Czech Republic.
