Iga Swiatek, Daniil Medvedev and Stefanos Tsitsipas posted contrasting victories on Day 5 of the French Open.

World No. 1 and 2020 champion Swiatek kept her domination going, while reigning US Open titleholder Medvedev cruised to a win on his least favored surface and last year's runner-up Tsitsipas survived another scare.

Meanwhile, Simona Halep and Karolina Pliskova, former champion and semifinalist, respectively, bowed out to lower-ranked foes in two of the upsets of the day.

Iga Swiatek continues fine display

Iga Swiatek sustained her winning ways as she clinched her 30th straight victory by downing Alison Riske 6-0, 6-2 in their second-round match.

Swiatek became just the fourth woman to pocket 30+ consecutive wins since 2000, following Venus Williams (35 in 2000), Serena Williams (34 in 2013) and Justine Henin (32 in 2008).

The top seed came out firing in the opener, striking 11 winners while keeping her unforced errors to just four as she dished out her 15th bagel of the season. She finished with 23 winners overall, though her unforced error count eventually piled up to 15 in the 61-minute match.

Swiatek also became the first player to string 13 victories in a row as WTA World No. 1 since Serena Williams in 2015.

Daniil Medvedev posts 2nd consecutive straight-sets win

Daniil Medvedev moved into the third round after beating Laslo Djere 6-3, 6-4, 6-3. Playing on his least successful surface, the World No. 2 notched up his second straight-sets win in-a-row on the Parisian clay. He swept past Facundo Bagnis 6-2, 6-2, 6-2 in the first round.

Against Djere, Medvedev produced seven aces and 28 winners. He was broken thrice but managed seven breaks of his own.

Medevedev could reclaim the No. 1 ranking from Novak Djokovic if he reaches the final.

Stefanos Tsitsipas lives to fight another day

Stefanos Tsitsipas saved three set points in the second set and four in the fourth-set tie-break to squeeze out a 6-3, 7-6(8), 6-7(3), 7-6(7) victory over qualifier Zdenek Kolar.

Tsitsipas blasted 25 aces and 67 winners while scattering 43 unforced errors in the four-hour-and-six-minute match.

It was the second tough battle for the fourth seed, who had to dig himself out of a hole against Lorenzo Musetti in the first round.

Tsitsipas sustained his lead in match wins on the ATP tour this season as he notched his 33rd victory against 10 losses.

Simona Halep, Karolina Pliskova crash out in second round

French Open 2018 champion Simona Halep and 2017 semifinalist Karolina Pliskova suffered shock defeats to lower-ranked foes in their respective second-round matches.

No. 19 seed Halep squandered a one-set lead as she stumbled against 19-year-old Zheng Qinwen 2-6, 6-2, 6-1.

Meanwhile, eighth-seeded Pliskova bowed out to World No. 227 and wildcard Leolia Jeanjean 6-2, 6-2 in just 75 minutes.

Zheng was 0-3 against top-20 players in her young career but finally broke through as she scored a reversal of her straight-sets loss to the 19th-ranked Halep in their Melbourne Summer Set 1 tussle in January.

Frenchwoman Jeanjean, meanwhile, became the lowest-ranked woman to win a match against a top-10 opponent at the French Open since Conchita Martinez beat Lori McNeil in 1988.
