The Emma Raducanu vs Iga Swiatek live stream is arguably the biggest match on paper of the third-round matches at the 2025 Australian Open. Below we have all the information on how to watch Raducanu vs Swiatek tennis from anywhere in the world with details on worldwide TV channels, broadcasters and FREE streams.

For Raducanu, getting properly fit has been vital to her uptick in form over the past six months. The 2021 US Open champion has struggled with wrist and shoulder injuries since that bravura first Grand Slam title, but is now back in the top 100 and reached the fourth round at Wimbledon last. She beat 26th seed Ekaterina Alexandrova in two tiebreaks in round one, then good friend Amanda Anisimova in straight sets. She's promised to come out all guns blazing against an opponent she's never beaten, but has always been competitive.

At 23, Swiatek is only a year Raducanu's senior but the Pole vastly outweighs the Brit in experience. The second seed has won four of the last five French Open titles through a mixture of incredible movement on the clay and supreme endurance, but hasn't always performed her best on hard courts where she can't slide into shots. Swiatek has, however, impressed so far in Melbourne and has reached the third round for the loss of just nine games. If anyone can send back the shot-making onslaught she's expecting to face, it's Swiatek.

With Swiatek unable to slide into her shots on a hard court in the way she can on her beloved clay, Raducanu’s shot-making and spring will be central to causing an upset. It’s set to be another warm one in Melbourne, with temperatures in the high 20s (Celsius) for what could be a classic. If Raducanu’s body can stay the course, could she pull off the win?
