Iga Swiatek smoothly advanced to the third round of the WTA 1000 in Montreal with a 6-2, 6-2 victory over Eva Lys.

This was their second meeting this season, following a 6-0, 6-1 round of 16 win by Swiatek in just 59 minutes at the last Australian Open.

During their handshake yesterday, Lys shared a few words with the recent Wimbledon champion.

"She joked about winning more games than last time," Swiatek shared in the press conference.

"She’s a really nice girl with a down-to-earth sense of humor, and I love that. At first, I didn’t quite hear her. Those net exchanges are always a bit awkward. I appreciate her humor, so it was funny," concluded the world No. 3.

Meanwhile, Lys reflected on her elimination on social media: "Iga always ends my good runs lol. I did my best and was a little closer this time. We appreciate small steps forward.

The finals are here, and we scramble for the best finish. I've been chasing "King" all year and I was able to shrink the spread a little. Skelp is also closing the gap.

Seasons best to all the regulars in our league.

Will you all be back in the new year.?

Steffi Graf completed a Golden Slam (not just a career Grand Slam) when she was 19. She is the only person to accomplish that, winning the four majors plus Olympic gold the same calendar year.
