Iga Świątek confirmed her position as the World No.1 at the French Open. The Polish player arrived in Paris in exceptional shape. With French Open titles in 2020, 2022, and 2023, she entered her latest match boasting a stellar 28-2 record at Roland Garros.
Facing Świątek was France’s Leolia Jeanjean, a relative unknown in major tour events. The match concluded predictably, with Świątek claiming a decisive 6-1, 6-2 victory. While Świątek exhibited a few unforced errors and moments of tension, she largely dominated the game. Jeanjean struggled with her second serve, preventing her from mounting a significant challenge against the top-ranked player.
Świątek’s next opponent is Naomi Osaka, who is returning to competitive tennis after a break. The highly anticipated match between the current and former WTA world number ones is set for Wednesday.
