World number one Iga Swiatek continues to rush from victory to victory. The 20-year-old Pole defeated Alison Riske of the USA 6-0, 6-2 in impressive fashion in Paris on Thursday to advance to the third round of the French Open in a fast-forward. For Swiatek it was already the 30th win in a row, she only needed 61 minutes for her success.
On Friday, the top favorite for the title still wants to be back on the training ground. “I will work on everything. I’m a perfectionist“, said Swiatek, who now meets Danka Kovinic from Montenegro on Saturday and should hardly be challenged there either.
