Top seed Iga Swiatek says she does "not want to get lazy" after thrashing China's Wang Xinyu 6-0 6-0 to reach the French Open fourth round.
Poland's Swiatek, going for a third Roland Garros title, has won four of her six sets without dropping a game.
Coco Gauff used her greater experience to fight back from a set down against 16-year-old Russian Mirra Andreeva.
American sixth seed Gauff, who is still only 19, remained calm and turned the match around to win 6-7 (5-7) 6-1 6-1.
Swiatek, who beat Gauff in last year's final on the Paris clay, needed just 51 minutes to record her first 'double bagel' at a Grand Slam.
"I always try to kind of be careful, because you don't want to get lazy after winning these matches," Swiatek told a news conference.
"It's never easy to win these matches. But on the other hand, sometimes all your head can remember is the score, and I always want to kind of be ready for every situation."
S Club singer Hannah Spearritt has drafted in lawyers after her sudden exit from the band's reunion tour.
The star's departure, which was confirmed last month after the shocking death of former boyfriend and S Club 7 singer Paul Cattermole, is still shrouded in mystery.
However, it is understood she had signed a contract with music mogul Simon Fuller and his talent company – and relations between the parties have since become 'tricky'.
In the weeks after the death of Cattermole, Ms Spearritt, 42, told of her devastation in an interview with a red-top newspaper.
One source said: 'It is a shame that it has got to the point where Hannah has had to get lawyers.'

AC Milan have sacked technical director and former captain Paolo Maldini after five years in the role.
Maldini helped Milan claim the Serie A title in 2022, the first in 11 years.
This season the club finished fourth in Serie A and reached the semi-finals of the Champions League, where they were defeated by rivals Inter Milan.
"We thank him for his years of service, contributing to the return to the Champions League and to winning the Scudetto," a club statement said.
During his time as technical director, Maldini was integral to helping the Rossoneri acquire the services of key players Rafael Leao, Theo Hernandez, Fikayo Tomori and Olivier Giroud.
The statement added that Maldini's "day-to-day duties will be performed by a team working in close integration with the first team manager."
The 54-year-old spent his entire playing career with AC Milan, making 901 appearances and winning 26 trophies, most notably seven Serie A titles and five European Cup/Champions League crowns.
His father, Cesare, was also a legend at the club, featuring 467 times before a two-year stint as manager, while his son, Daniel, is on the books at Milan but spent last season out on loan at Spezia.

Chinese players Liang Wenbo and Li Hang have been handed lifetime bans for their involvement in snooker's biggest match-fixing scandal.
Eight other players, all from China, have received bans ranging from 20 months to five years and four months from the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association (WPBSA).
The allegations include manipulating games, approaching players to cheat, betting on snooker and fixing matches.
Yan Bingtao, the 2021 Masters champion, has been banned until December 2027, while former UK Championship winner Zhao Xintong must serve a suspension that ends in September 2024.
All 10 players have until 20 June to appeal against the decisions.
London Irish have been suspended from the Premiership after missing a deadline to pay players and staff.
The club, which had been given until Tuesday to complete a takeover or risk being suspended, will not be allowed to play in any league next season.
A US consortium had been trying to buy the club, which finished fifth in the Premiership during 2022-23.
An RFU statement said the takeover had not materialised and the move would provide certainty for other clubs.
Despite plans announced in 2021 to expand to 14 teams, English rugby now faces the prospect of a 10-team Premiership next season following the demise of Worcester Warriors and Wasps.
A 10-team top flight with a reduced salary cap was discussed by clubs midway through last season, according to Leicester Tigers chief executive Andrea Pinchen.
Shrewsbury Town manager Steve Cotterill has left the League One club after two and a half years in charge.
The 58-year-old was appointed in November 2020 and guided Town to 12th in 2022-23, the club's best finish for five seasons.
Cotterill missed the second half of the 2020-21 campaign after spending 33 days in hospital with Covid-19.
"I am confident this team will continue its progression next season," he said in a statement.
Shrewsbury was Cotterill's ninth managerial job, with Stoke City, Burnley, Birmingham City ,Nottingham Forest and Bristol City among his former clubs.
Chairman Roland Wycherley said: "From time to time, circumstances arise when difficult and unpopular decisions have to be made to safeguard the very future of our club.
"We currently find ourselves in such a position and we would be failing in our duty if we shirk those decisions."
He added: "Going forward, be assured that management structures and new football strategies are already in place - the rationale for the actions we have taken will become evident in the coming weeks and months."
Cotterill's departure comes a month after chief executive Brian Caldwell left.
"The club has lost a good guy. I will miss him without a shadow of a doubt," Cotterill told BBC Radio Shropshire at the time.
"When I came here two and a half years ago, the chairman said he wanted me and Brian to work closely together - and we did just that. He was very supportive, especially when I had Covid."
US sprinter Jim Hines, the first man to run the 100m in under 10 seconds, has died at the age of 76.
He broke the record in 1968 when he recorded a hand-timed 9.9 seconds at the US Championships.
Hines then broke his own record shortly after while winning gold at the 1968 Olympics, where an electronic timer in Mexico City recorded him at 9.95.
His record held for nearly 15 years until Calvin Smith ran a time of 9.93 in 1983.
