Wimbledon champion Iga Swiatek continued her strong form on the women’s tour by defeating Yuan Yue 6-0, 6-3 on Saturday. The victory secured her place in the third round of the China Open 2025. With this win, Swiatek created history at the tournament. She became the first player to record 25 or more wins at WTA-1000 events for three straight seasons.
The world No. 1 stayed in complete control throughout the match. She dismantled the home favorite with a blend of power and precision. Fresh from a title-winning run at the Korea Open in Seoul, she looked unstoppable. Swiatek showed no signs of slowing down as she continued to dominate the hard-court swing.
Her victory further cements an already extraordinary career. The Polish star has now won six Grand Slam singles titles. Her victories include four French Opens, one US Open, and a recent Wimbledon crown. These achievements highlight her status as one of the most successful players of her generation.
