Wimbledon: Impressive Swiatek safely through to second round

World No. 1 Iga Swiatek is safely through to the second round of Wimbledon, winning against Chinese player Lin Zhu 6-1, 6-3 at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club.

Despite a brief rain delay during which the roof was put over Court One, it was a straightforward and hassle-free win for the Pole, who looked very sharp throughout.

Swiatek will play the winner of the match between Italian Martina Trevisan and Spaniard Sara Sorribes Tormo next.
