To say that Iga Świątek loves playing at Roland-Garros would be a gross understatement. In fact, with the Polish world number one’s recent landslide victory over Markéta Vondroušová on Tuesday, Świątek has now firmly established one of the greatest scores we have ever seen in women’s tennis.
Just days after recording a dominant double bagel against Anastasia Potapova, Bagel ended the set 6-0. — Świątek did it. again To Vondroušová in the first set. This means that Świątek now has an immeasurable record. three Bagels during the second week of my major.
Only nine women have achieved this, and Serena Williams in 2013 is the only star to achieve this feat since 1989.
It’s truly amazing.

None of this dominance is particularly surprising in Świątek. In her young career, the French Open turned out to be the Polish player’s bread and butter. Świątek is competing for her third consecutive singles title at Roland-Garros and her fourth in five years. Talk about a dynasty.
next? World No. 3 Coco Gauff advanced to the semifinals. If Świątek records the bagel and beats Gauff convincingly, it will be time for the coronation to begin.
