PARIS : Defending champion Iga Swiatek continued her imperious march towards a third French Open title in four years with a 6-0 6-0 humiliation of Wang Xinyu on Saturday to reach the fourth round.

It was a very strong performance from me and I was happy I was disciplined and took care of everything," said Swiatek, who has lost only eight games since the start of the tournament.
