Iga Swiatek wasted little time dispatching Wang Xiyu in the opening round of the US Open, cruising to a 6-2, 6-3 victory in just one hour and 28 minutes.
The Polish eighth seed was clinical throughout. After wrapping up the first set comfortably, both players traded holds for the opening seven games of the second. But Swiatek found her moment, cracking a precise forehand to break serve before closing out the match without fuss.
The result extends Swiatek's extraordinary streak to 28 consecutive first-round wins at Grand Slam level. Her only opening-match defeat came back in 2019 - a statistic that underlines just how ruthlessly consistent she has been at the majors.
Wang, meanwhile, has now lost all three of her encounters with the former world number one, each time failing to take a set.
Swiatek will fancy her chances of a deep run in New York once again. Few players arrive at Grand Slams with her level of confidence in the early rounds, and on this evidence, she looks ready to push for another major crown.
