French Open tennis champion Iga Swiatek crushed world No 12 Belinda Bencic in straight sets to claim the Adelaide International at Memorial Drive on Saturday.
The 19-year-old Pole was in ruthless form as she downed her Swiss opponent 6-2, 6-2 to claim the second title of her career.
Swiatek burst onto the scene at Roland Garros last year when she claimed the French Open crown, defeating then world No 6 Sofia Kenin in the final.
She started strongly against Bencic and never eased up, breaking her twice in each set to wrap up a comfortable victory.
Swiatek went into the tournament as world No 18 but will now rise to a career-high 15th as a result of the win, her first hard-court title.
The women’s doubles final was won by Chilean-US pair Alexa Guarachi and Desirae Krawczyk, who beat Hayley Carter of the US and Brazil’s Luisa Stefani 6-7 (4-7), 6-4, 10-3.
