World number one Iga Swiatek again got the best of Aryna Sabalenka, winning in straight sets to take the Italian Open title.

Swiatek won a thriller against the world number two earlier this month in the Madrid Open final.

On Saturday the 22-year-old dominated Sabalenka, winning 6-2 6-3 to secure her 21st career title.

"After Madrid I knew it wasn't going to be easy," Swiatek said.

"I'm really happy that I was able to play consistently during the clay season. The final tournament is in front of us. I always enjoy playing here.
