World number one Iga Swiatek defended her Italian Open title with a dominant performance over Ons Jabeur, beating her 6-2 6-2.

The Polish 20-year-old got off to a fast start in both sets, denying Tunisia's Jabeur any time on the ball.

After a challenging route to the final, Jabeur, 27, seemed fatigued, particularly struggling with her serve in the second set.

Swiatek has now won 28 matches in a row and five consecutive tournaments.
