The 5 women with most consecutive Grand Slam Round 3 appearances: Iga Swiatek hits new milestone
Iga Swiatek was back at her full-flowing best in a dominant US Open display on Thursday.
The world No 1 breezed past Japanese qualifier Ena Shibahara 6-0, 6-1, reaching the third round of a major for the 19th consecutive time.
That is a stat that puts her equal fourth in the Open Era for the most third-round Grand Slam appearances in a row – we take a look at those who also matched that run.
This stat factors consecutive appearances only, so while Chris Evert and Serena Williams have gone on lengthy individual streaks, tournament withdrawals mean they never achieved this directly at 19 Slams in a row.
Iga Swiatek – 19
Swiatek has been the dominant force on the WTA Tour for some time, and her Grand Slam consistency has been a big part of that.
The last time the reigning world No 1 lost before the third round of a major was the 2019 US Open, when she fell to Anastasija Sevastova in the second round.
