World number one Iga Swiatek beat Romania’s Sorana Cirstea 6-1 6-1 to reach the last 16 of the Madrid Open.<\/b><\/p>\n

The Polish top seed, a three-time French Open champion, needed only one hour and 18 minutes to win a one-sided third-round match on her favoured surface.<\/p>\n

Swiatek, runner-up to Aryna Sabalenka in Madrid last year, will face Spain’s Sara Sorribes Tormo next.<\/p>\n

“Sara is a Spaniard, will have the home crowd behind her and is really solid. A fighter as well,” Swiatek said.<\/p>\n

Sorribes Tormo beat former world number one Victoria Azarenka 7-6 (7-0) 6-3.<\/p>\n

Tunisia’s Ons Jabeur<\/b>, who has made a shaky start to the season, came through 7-5 2-6 6-4 against Canada’s Leylah Fernandez.<\/p>\n

Jabeur, who won the Madrid title in 2022, will face Jelena Ostapenko<\/b> for a quarter-final spot after the Latvian beat Argentine qualifier Maria Carle 6-3 6-3.<\/p>\n

Greek fifth seed Maria Sakkari<\/b> is also through following a 6-1 6-3 win over American Sloane Stephens.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
