- World No 1 wins shortest match of career; Coco Gauff advances
- Carlos Alcaraz and Stefanos Tsitsipas set up quarter-final
After an opening week defined by Iga Swiatek’s grit, as she saved match point and recovered from the brink of defeat against a resurgent Naomi Osaka in her second-round match, the Pole’s bakery reopened with ruthless efficiency on Sunday as the best player in the world demolished Anastasia Potapova 6-0, 6-0 to return to the quarter-finals of the French Open.
Even in matches with such emphatic scorelines, the final result is not always reflective of how competitive some can be. Sometimes the games are tight and competitive but the superior player just wins all of the points that matter.
