WUHAN, China (AP) — Iga Swiatek powered her way to the third round of the WTA’s 1,000-level Wuhan Open on Tuesday with a straight sets win against Marie Bouzkova.

Wimbledon champion Swiatek bounced back impressively after her fourth round exit at the China Open last week, winning 6-1, 6-1 against the Czech opponent.

The victory was the six-time grand slam winner's 60th this year and the fourth year in a row she has reached that figure.

“Every tournament I go to, I want to play my best game,” said Swiatek. “Sometimes I deliver, sometimes not, but, yeah, my expectation is to just do my best.

“Honestly, I don’t set goals like semifinal or whatever — just really making it step by step.”

No. 2 seed Swiatek will play Belinda Bencic or Elise Mertens in the next round.
