The Polish world No. 8 defeated the 105th-ranked Belarusian player 6–4, 6–4 in one hour and 35 minutes in the second round of the women's singles on Monday, news outlets reported.

The match marked Świątek's first grass-court win of the season.

The 24-year-old Pole, who had a bye in the first round, will now face Russia's Ekaterina Alexandrova or Greece's Maria Sakari on Thursday for a place in the semifinals.

The Bad Homburg Open is a warm-up event before Wimbledon, which begins in London on June 30.
