Swiatek beats Raducanu in French Open

Five-time Grand Slam champion Iga Swiatek, continued her impressive record over Emma Raducanu, who said she was not feeling "demotivated" despite her miserable record against the fifth in a one-sided French Open battle.

The British number two was outclassed in a 6-1 6-2 second-round exit which means she has lost all five of her matches against the world number five.

It was another reminder of the gulf that still exists between 41st-ranked Raducanu and the leading players on the WTA Tour.

Raducanu, who has never won a set against Swiatek, says she feels the 23-year-old from Poland is "always fired up" when they meet.

After being unable to convert a break point in the opening game, Raducanu quickly lost her way as Swiatek rattled off five games in a row.

The Briton's second serve was placed under serious pressure and her groundstrokes became increasingly ragged as the defending champion took the opening set in 35 minutes.

Swiatek, who has won four of the past five Roland Garros titles and is known as the 'Queen of Clay' because of her formidable record here, quickly moved a break ahead at 2-1 in the second set.

After a below-par clay-court swing, though, there are some questions about her form and they resurfaced when Raducanu threatened to break back immediately.

But Swiatek managed to maintain her intensity under pressure - one of the key differences between players of her status and her opponent - to save three break points in a lengthy fourth game.
