Sharjah 24 – AFP: Polish tennis star Iga Swiatek, ranked world No. 2, opened her campaign at the Rome Open in commanding fashion, defeating Italy's Elisabetta Cocciaretto 6-1, 6-0 in the second round on Thursday.

Bounce back from Madrid loss

Swiatek’s emphatic win comes after a disappointing straight-sets loss to American Coco Gauff in the semifinals of the Madrid Open, where she fell 6-1, 6-1.

Quick and decisive victory

The 23-year-old needed just 52 minutes to dispatch Cocciaretto, conceding only one game in the match and demonstrating strong form on the clay court.

Next challenge: Danielle Collins

Swiatek will next face American Danielle Collins in the third round. Collins advanced with a 6-3, 6-3 win over Romania’s Elena Gabriela Ruse.
