Iga Swiatek is safely into the third round of the Canadian Open after storming past Sara Bejlek in Toronto.
Handed a bye in round one of the Canadian Open, the Pole defeated her Czech opponent 6-0, 6-3 to set up a meeting with Viktorija Golubic.
And that scoreline is certainly a significant one, with Swiatek clinching yet another 6-0 set victory, also known as a bagel.
She has become accustomed to winning sets via that scoreline in recent years, particularly at WTA 1000 level.

Iga Swiatek trails only Serena Williams and Martina Hingis in WTA bagels feat
Swiatek now boasts 40 6-0 sets in Tier1/WTA-1000 events, and is rapidly climbing the all-time list.
In fact, only legendary duo Martina Hingis (52) and Serena Williams (50) have more since 1990, as per OptaAce.
OptaAce also notes that the Pole nears the latter in another area since the WTA-1000 format’s introduction in 2009.
With 139 wins and 35 losses, Swiatek holds a winning percentage of 79.8%, which is bettered only by the 80.4% of American icon Williams.

Iga Swiatek needs one more bagel to complete stunning record
While chasing the bagel record won’t be at the forefront of her mind, it will give Swiatek great confidence knowing she has the capacity to constantly win by such a scoreline.
In fact, the six-time Grand Slam champion needs just one more career bagel to complete a truly remarkable set.
She has recorded a bagel at every Grand Slam, the WTA Finals, and every WTA 1000 tournament except Wuhan.
It’s a stunning list, and one that Swiatek could complete when the Wuhan Open returns to the WTA calendar in October.
What do you think is going wrong for Iga Swiatek at the moment?
First, however, she is firmly focused on the Canadian Open, where the world number eight is chasing her first title of the 2026 season.
If the seventh seed makes it past Golubic in Toronto, she faces a tricky test against either Marta Kostyuk or Madison Keys.
