French Open: Best seed Iga Swiatek destroyed Wang Xinyu 6-0 6-0 with a faultless performance to keep her title defence at the French Open on track and issue a message to her opponents.
Swiatek, who was going for her third championship in Paris in five years, had no flaws as she breezed through to the fourth round.
“I am definitely happy. I gave a very great performance, and I was pleased that I maintained my composure and took care of everything,” stated Swiatek.
The 22-year-old world No. 1 said, “Every point is important for me, and at the highest level, every point matters.” “You have to be somewhat disciplined all the time.
“Later on, when I have close matches, I’ll employ that talent.”

In just 28 minutes, the Pole had won the first set by breaking the Chinese world No. 80 three times.
Wang was expected to be quite effective with his powerful forehand, but on the way to his first of two bagels, the Chinese star committed a dozen unforced errors.
Swiatek, who accomplished the double bagel trick in Rome the previous month, refrained from joining Wang’s strong rallies.
On her first match point, she accomplished the remarkable accomplishment and, after 51 minutes, Wang’s torment was over.
🔜Second week it is. Let's enjoy it.☺️

With a 6-7 (5-7) 6-1 6-1 triumph, last year’s runner-up Coco Gauff overcame a shaky beginning to halt the run of fellow adolescent Mirra Andreeva.
“Mirra is really young and has a bright future, you know. She has a lot to look forward to, and I remember when I was here as a 15-year-old,” remarked American star Gauff.
“We swapped breaks and I had opportunities in the first set, but generally I knew the game plan and tried to carry it out in the second and third sets. I’m sure she picked up things from my game and I picked up things from hers because we practised together earlier (before the draw).”
Unquestionably a player with tremendous promise, the Russian more than held her own against Gauff in an opening set of the highest calibre and shotmaking ferocity.
