Only ten points scored by Anastasia Potapova, a match concluded in 40 minutes… Iga Swiatek did not give details in winning 6-0, 6-0 this Sunday at Roland-Garros. Although very quick, this victory is not the fastest recorded at Roland-Garros.
The more than complicated match during the second round of this Roland-Garros 2024 against Naomi Osaka was well digested for Iga Swiatek. After knocking out Marie Bouzkova in the third round (6-4, 6-2), the Pole challenged Anastasia Potapova in the round of 16 this Sunday. Expeditious, lga Swiatek simply disgusted his opponent, inflicting a double bubble (6-0, 6-0) in 40 minutes.
Not the fastest match in Roland-Garros history
On clay, the world number 1 is the queen and she proved it once again. The slightest error is punished by the Pole and Anastasia Potapova paid the price. The Russian only scored ten points in this match and she was never able to win a game.
The result is terrible but the time spent on the court is just as terrible. In 40 minutes, Iga Swiatek had time to complete a match while on the Suzanne-Lenglen court, the first set of the Danilovic-Vondrousova match was not completed (even though the two matches started at the same time).
For Anastasia Potapova, it will be difficult to find anything positive in this defeat but she can console herself by saying that her defeat is not the quickest in the history of Roland-Garros. In 1988, Steffi Graf beat Natasha Zvereva in just 34 minutes (6-0, also 6-0) in the tournament final.
