Iga Swiatek is continuing with her domination of the WTA Tour taking down Alison Riske in about 60 minutes of play at Roland Garros 6-0 6-1.

The American tried but she was simply overmatched by Swiatek and her aggressiveness. She brought the heat early and Riske caved under the pressure.

She continued putting pressure on Riske by taking an early break once more and jumping out to a 3-0 lead. Riske barely avoided a 2nd set bagel by winning a game at 0-3.
