⛎After rolling past Caroline Garcia in her opening match of the tournament, Swiatek produced the same scoreline on Sunday, winning 6-0 6-2 in just one hour and five minutes. 

♛The world number two started the opening set with a break of serve, before taking the early advantage at a canter, recording her second bagel of the tournament so far. 

♔Yastremska, a victim of her over-aggressive groundstrokes and Swiatek's consistency, finally got on the board 53 minutes into the contest when the Pole sent a backhand long. 

💯Though Swiatek saw her 10-game winning streak end, the damage had already been done, finishing the contest with a fierce return that Yastremska could not get over the net. 

Data Debrief: Home away from home

🍨Swiatek has played arguably her best tennis at Indian Wells, with her quest to become the first woman to win the title three times off to a flying start. 

𒊎Indeed, only Serena Williams (21) has registered 20 women's singles match wins at Indian Wells in fewer matches than Swiatek (22), since the event's inauguration in 1989.

🎶She has also now equalled Caroline Wozniacki (31) for the second-most 6-0 sets of any player at WTA-1000 events, trailing only Victoria Azarenka (33) since the format's introduction in 2009.

💦No player with at least 20 completed sets at this level has posted a better ratio of 6-0 sets than Swiatek, who has won 11.6% (31 of 268) of her sets by that scoreline.
