Iga Swiatek continued her Wimbledon title defence with a convincing 6-1, 6-3 victory over Karolina Pliskova, securing her place in the third round. After a tense three-set opening match, Swiatek appeared more composed, stating she felt "more stable" and treated the match as "another day in the office." The world number three lost only one of the initial 17 points, establishing early dominance.

Swiatek's performance was a stark contrast to her emotional first-round win. She lost just one of the first 17 points played in her match against the former finalist. Despite a brief wobble in the second game of the second set, where she dropped serve, Swiatek quickly regained control, breaking back twice to seal the victory in just 69 minutes.

This win extends Swiatek's remarkable record of never losing before the third round at a Grand Slam since the 2019 US Open. She remains the only woman to reach the third round in all 26 Grand Slam events this decade. Her next opponent is Alexandra Eala.
