French Open: Iga Swiatek beats Alison Riske at Roland Garros

World number one Iga Swiatek overwhelmed another opponent with a rapid win as she cruised into the French Open third round.

Poland's Swiatek, 20, needed 61 minutes to win 6-0 6-2 against American Alison Riske at Roland Garros.

Swiatek, who beat Ukraine's Lesia Tsurenko in 54 minutes on Tuesday, has now won her past 30 matches and is aiming for a sixth successive title.

The 2020 Roland Garros champion will play Montenegro's Danka Kovinic next.

"I'm pretty happy. I'm playing solid tennis," said Swiatek, who has already won titles in Doha, Indian Wells, Miami, Stuttgart and Rome this year.
