Iga Swiatek defeated Lesia Tsurenko 6-2, 6-0 in her first-round match in Paris. Swiatek defeated the Ukrainian in just 54 minutes – her fastest win of 2022. The 2020 Roland Garros champion extended her winning streak on the WTA tour to 29 matches. The Polish star’s winning streak is the longest by any player on the WTA Tour since 2013. In the second round, Swiatek completely decimated America’s Alison Riske 6-0, 6-2 to advance to the third round.

Since a run to the Australian Open semi-finals in January, Swiatek has completely dominated the women’s game and won her past five tournaments – Qatar Open, Indian Wells Masters, Miami Open, Stuttgart Open, and the Rome Masters. The Polish star is in red hot form and the current World No.1. The top seed certainly looks like the player to beat in this tournament.
