MELBOURNE, Australia – Iga Swiatek vs Daria Kasatkina is one of those “love the variety in women’s tennis good old-school matchup bla bla bla” kinda of matches, for the purists who like women who can slice.

It turned out … not to be much of a matchup on the day.

For the power lovers, we give you Pavlyuchenkova-Cirstea and Collins-Tauson.
