Bad Homburg, June 27

Iga Swiatek overcame a slow start before powering her way into the second round of the Bad Homburg Open with a 5-7 6-2 6-0 win over grasscourt specialist Tatjana Maria.

Swiatek, making her first competitive appearance since winning the French Open two weeks before, took time to get going in her first match on grass this season.

It’s Swiatek’s eighth consecutive win and a tour-leading 36th of the season.
