Swiatek breezes into third round of French Open | Pliskova and Halep out

World No 1 Iga Swiatek needed just 61 minutes to beat Alison Riske and progress into the third round of the French Open.

The 6-0 6-2 victory extends Swiatek's winning streak out to 30 matches and continues to highlight why so many are predicting her to win a second French Open title this year.

Since taking over from Ash Barty as the world No 1, Swiatek has taken her tennis to a new level and against Riske, the 2020 French Open champion, she dominated every facet of the match.

Swiatek hit 23 winners to just six from Riske and she converted five of the nine break points she created.

"I'm pretty happy," Swiatek said on court after.

"I'm just happy that I'm playing really solid tennis and I think this is my first singles match on Court Suzanne-Lenglen so it was a pleasure playing here and thank you [to the fans] for cheering.

Swiatek entered the court extremely focused and flew out of the blocks. She won the first nine games before Riske got on the board, and even that game went to deuce.

"It's been something I've been working on since I started," Swiatek said about the focus she has early in matches.

"Just being focused and wanting to put pressure on my opponent is really helpful as it means that I have the initiative from the beginning and can really lead on court.

"It's not that easy before every match because you have to get pumped up and in the zone, but I'm getting better and better at it."

Swiatek will now have a day off before facing the world No 95 Danka Kovinic in the third round on Saturday.

Karolina Pliskova, the eighth seed, has been knocked out of the French Open by wildcard Leolia Jeanjean, who is playing in her first Grand Slam and spent five years away from tennis due to injury.
