Iga Swiatek, Jannik Sinner Power Through at China Open Hoặc: Swiatek and Sinner Surge Ahead at China Open Tournament

BEIJING -- Wimbledon champion Iga Swiatek defeated Yuan Yue 6-0, 6-3 on Saturday to advance to the third round at the China Open and create some WTA Tour history.

The WTA said Swiatek, with Saturday's win, became the first player to register 25 or more wins at WTA-1000 events for three consecutive seasons.

Top-seeded Swiatek, who won last week's Korea Open in Seoul, has also won the French Open four times and the US Open once among her six Grand Slam singles titles.
