PARIS: Hello girl Iga Swiatek overcome buddy Kaja Juvan of Slovenia 6-0, 7-5 to start her French Open title defence on Monday.
Celebrating her 20th birthday, the Pole didn’t appear keen to invest an excessive amount of time and came out all guns blazing from the beginning on a windy afternoon at the opening game at Court Philippe-Chatrier.
Swiatek dished a bagel at the first group to Juvan, that can be her friend by junior ranks, which makes it three successive sets the Pole hadn’t lost a match after she defeated former number one Karolina Pliskova 6-0, 6-0 at the final at Rome.
With nothing to shed Juvan went to the offensive at the second group and following an early commerce of fractures Swiatek got the critical break in the 12th game to establish a second-round battle against Shelby Rogers or even Rebecca Peterson.
