Swiatek eases into Wimbledon second round
LONDON: World number one Iga Swiatek racked up the first five games on her way to sweeping past China´s Zhu Lin to reach the Wimbledon second round on Monday. Reigning US Open and French Open champion Swiatek came through 6-1, 6-3 against her 34th-ranked opponent.
Top seed Swiatek, who has yet to progress beyond the fourth round at the All England Club, will face either Martina Trevisan of Italy or Spain´s Sara Sorribes Tormo for a place in the last 32.
"I feel confident and did a good job of adjusting to grass," said the 22-year-old after an 81-minute win that was completed under the roof of Court One as heavy rain disrupted play on the outside courts. "After winning Roland Garros last year, I felt overwhelmed but this year I took the time to appreciate it and then went back to work."
