Iga Swiatek kept her French Open title defence and an impressive Grand Slam streak alive with a convincing win over Emma Raducanu.

The world No 5 faced little trouble in a blockbuster second-round contest inside Court Philippe Chatrier on Wednesday, breezing past fellow Grand Slam winner Raducanu 6-1, 6-2.

Swiatek’s triumph continues her dominant head-to-head over Raducanu, with the Pole having won all five matches – and all 10 sets – the two have contested.

“I just want to play my game,” said Swiatek.

“For sure, I felt good on court. I felt I could do whatever I planned to, whatever I wanted to. I just needed to adjust to the wind as conditions were pretty tricky today.

“I’m happy that I did that well and that I’m through.”
