Swiatek strikes with first round Open victory

Iga Swiatek wasted no time in getting stuck into the US Open, with the top seed carving up Jasmine Paolini 6-3, 6-0 to power into the second round on Tuesday.

The Pole who ran out a win streak of 37 straight victories comprising six WTA titles earlier this season, was done in a mere 67 minutes as her Italian opponent committed 25 unforced errors.

Swiatek finished off her 50th victory this season – a figure which includes a pair of victories at the Billie Jean King Cup last April.
