Top seed Iga Swiatek eases past Jasmine Paolini in straight sets to race into US Open second round
A strong performance from top seed Iga Swiatek saw her ease past Jasmine Paolini in straight sets, 6-3 6-0, to race into the second round of the US Open. Swiatek, the world No.1, was mightily impressive in parts as she cruised past Paolini, making a bagel in the second set having been broken twice in the opening set. Ad After an inconsistent spell in which she crashed out of Wimbledon at the third round and suffered an exit in the quarter finals of the BNP Paribas Poland Open in Warsaw, Swiatek looked like she was finally recapturing her form as she wrapped up the match in 67 minutes.
