Iga Swiatek comfortably qualified for the 3rd round of the Paris Olympic Games at Roland-Garros on Monday. The Pole beat Diane Parry in just over an hour and two short sets (6-1, 6-1).

Stronger in all areas of the game, the world number one gave the Frenchwoman no chance, not allowing her to contest a single break point.

In the last 16, Swiatek will face China's Wang Xiyu, who created a surprise by easily overcoming Czech Linda Noskova and then Russian Diana Shnaider in the 1st and 2nd rounds.
