Swiatek vs Riske Preview
After defeating Lesya Tsurenko 6-2 and 6-0, the Polish player, Iga Swiatek who is the current world no. 1 player, advanced to the second round.
The defending champion at Roland Garros started the defense of her title on Monday with a dominating 6-2, 6-0 victory over Ukrainian qualifier Lesia Tsurenko. This victory came after the champion won five consecutive titles in Doha, Indian Wells, Miami, Stuttgart, and Rome. Swiatek finished the game with 54 points, while Tsurenko finished with only 22. Swiatek played a very aggressive game and ended up with 17 winners. Her 29-match winning streak is the longest on the WTA since 2013.
Riske, a former World No. 18 player, has won three titles on the Women’s Tennis Association circuit, the most recent of which she won in Linz at the conclusion of the 2017 season. She maintained her winning streak into the new season and used it as a springboard to reach the final of the Adelaide International.
However, ever since that time, the man who is now 31 years old has had a tough time of it. Her run to the fourth round in Miami was the best performance she had in the following seven tournaments she entered.
Alison had a successful match against Yastremska in the first round, winning in straight sets (6-3 6-3). Riske finished the game with 66 points, while Yastremska finished with 53. The American played in a pretty aggressive manner, and he ended up with 25 winners.

Swiatek vs Riske Prediction:
Given her form, it’s hard to bet against the World No. 1. During her winning streak, she beat seven top-10 players, making her the tour’s most dominant player.
Swiatek is the women’s game’s dominant force. I don’t expect her to have a tough match until the Round of 16, and she may still win.
The top seed will need all her skills against her next opponent, who plays fast-paced tennis. Riske is a grass courter with flat groundstrokes who moves forward at every opportunity.
Swiatek burst onto the scene by winning Roland-Garros without dropping a set as a teenager in 2020. Alison Riske beat Dayan Yastremska on Monday, but she drew the short straw in Paris. Swiatek has beaten Riske twice without dropping a set and can win in two here.
Swiatek vs Riske Prediction: Iga Swiatek will win the match
