Iga Swiatek's unbelievable run of form continued on Thursday as she made light work of American Alison Riske to advance to the third round of the French Open.

Swiatek bageled her opponent in the opening set and conceded just two games in the second as she romped to her 30th consecutive victory on the WTA tour.

The World No. 1 has made a habit of winning matches without breaking a sweat and tennis fans expressed their admiration for the Pole after her latest win.

Fans on social media had no qualms declaring her the runaway favorite for the French Open title.

"Honestly if Iga Swiatek doesn’t win the whole thing with this whole mess it will be the most shocking Slam result in history, even more than Raducanu winning me thinks," one fan wrote.

Yep. Iga Swiatek is my favourite tennis player as of now. Calling her dominant is an understatement. It's such a joy to watch her.

The win over Riske made Swiatek just the fourth player this century to win 30 consecutive matches. Additionally, it was her eighth consecutive straight-sets triumph.

"Thirty straight wins for Iga Swiatek. And in this sequence, there are hard courts, clay courts, indoors, windy games, opponents of all sorts of rankings and styles of play... It's very difficult to see someone do what she does, we just have to enjoy the game. as much as you can (translated)," said another fan, referring to her unbeaten run.
Trinta vitórias seguidas para Iga Swiatek. E nessa sequência tem quadra dura, tem saibro, tem indoor, tem jogo com vento, tem adversárias de tudo quanto é ranking e estilos de jogo... É muito difícil ver alguém fazer o que ela faz, a gente só tem que curtir o máximo que puder. twitter.com/WTA/status/152…

She plays Tennis 🎾 with passion at this point I bet she can play better than certain Men I mean no disrespect #IgaŚwiatek
@ReemAbulleil Think @Martina Nav and Steffi Grav need to dust down their racquets and come and show the rest how to play against @iga_swiatek ,now that would be a match up

Another streak that highlighted Swiatek's dominance was the 16 consecutive games she won across her first two matches. Riske brought that streak to an end by winning her first game of the match in the second set.

One fan believes that Iga Swiatek is a more exciting player to watch than Carlos Alcaraz, who is making waves on the ATP tour.

Even more exciting than Carlito - for me - is Iga. Aside from the fact that Allison is no match for a Iga -Iga’s shots and speed are phenomenal.

Are we betting on another double bagel?

Despite producing one of the most dominant runs in recent memory on the WTA tour, Swiatek is of the opinion that she has plenty to improve on.

"Always I feel like there is something I can do better," she said during her on-court interview after beating Riske.
"Always I feel like there is something I can do better."

Rest of WTA: God I hope not. https://t.co/6aIKW82U3O

The 20-year-old will face Danka Kovinic in her next match on Saturday. A potential fourth-round clash against former French Open winner Jelena Ostapenko is also on the cards. Third seed Paula Badosa is in the same half of the draw as Swiatek and there is a lot of anticipation among fans for that match.
