Iga Swiatek: Women's world No.1 Iga Swiatek opened her title defence at the French Open on Monday with a trademark performance, romping to a straight sets victory against local qualifier Leolia Jeanjean on Court Philippe-Chatrier in the French capital.

Swiatek surged to a 6-1, 6-2 victory in quick time, thus registering her 15th consecutive win in the French Open, improving her first-round record at Roland Garros to 6-0. She is the first woman to win 15 consecutive matches at the French Open since Justine Henin, who took 24 consecutive matches between 2005-10.

The 22-year-old Swiatek broke in the very first game of the match with a dominant game, pinning Jeanjean to the back of the court with precise returns as the Pole capped it off by crushing a forehand return winner to glance the left tramline.
