Make that 30 in a row for Iga Swiatek.

The top-ranked Swiatek routed Alison Riske 6-0, 6-2 to reach the third round of the French Open.

It's the longest winning streak in women's tennis since Serena Williams won 34 in a row in 2013.

The 20-year-old Polish player hasn't lost in more than three months.

On the men's side, 12th-seeded Hubert Hurkacz beat Marco Cecchinato 6-1, 6-4, 6-2 to reach the third round.
