Swiatek cruises, Halep upset in the second round of Roland Garros

Favorite Iga Swiatek served another bagel as she progressed into the third round of Roland Garros, while fellow former champion Simona Halep got knocked out by a Chinese teenager.

Top seed Iga Swiatek continues to solidify her dominance on the Hologic WTA Tour, this time with a rapid 6-0 6-2 victory over Alison Riske in the second round on Court Suzanne-Lenglen. The Pole took just 61 minutes to extend her winning streak to 30 matches. Moreover, the bagel she served to the American is a Tour-leading 15th 6-0 set this year.

Previously, the 2020 Roland Garros champion Swiatek wasted only 54 minutes in her first-round victory over Ukraine’s Lesia Tsurenko.
