Top seed Iga Swiatek beat Sara Sorribes Tormo 6-2, 6-0 on Wednesday to cruise into the Wimbledon third round. The reigning US Open and French Open champion has never been beyond the fourth round at the grass-court tournament but has dropped just six games so far at the All England Club.
The 22-year-old Polish player broke her 84th-ranked Spanish opponent three times in the opening set of their Centre Court clash. She then romped through the second set without dropping a game.
Former world number two Anett Kontaveit said she was in too much pain to continue her tennis career after Wimbledon following her first-round win on Wednesday.
The Estonian announced last month that she would be retiring after the grass-court Grand Slam in London at the tender age of 27.
She said on social media that she had been told by medical specialists that she had lumbar disc degeneration in her back.
