IGA SWIATEK VS XIYU WANG PREDICTION

World number one Iga Swiatek is looking in sensational form as she has eased through two rounds of matches already without really having to go up the gears. The four-time winner at Roland Garros - all four wins have come in the last five years - now faces China’s Wang Xiyu who she comfortably beat in Madrid earlier this year.

The Chinese 23-year-old is ranked 52 in the world and has played well in winning both her matches in straight sets so far. This however is a completely different challenge and it is hard to make a case for her even coming close to winning a set. Expect Swiatek to canter to a straight sets victory.
