In the second round in Paris, the 21-year-old, who triumphed in Roland Garros in 2020 and 2022, will face either qualifier Ylena In-Albon from Switzerland or Claire Liu from the USA.
Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina also mastered her opening hurdle with ease. The fourth-seeded Kazakh, who had underpinned her role as one of the favorites in Roland Garros with her win in Rome, defeated the 16-year-old qualifier Brenda Fruhvirtova (Czech Republic) 6: 4, 6: 2. In the second round, the next Czech in Linda Noskova is waiting for Rybakina.
Last year’s finalist Coco Gauff had significantly more problems. The 19-year-old American, who only failed in the final against Swiatek in Paris last year, advanced to the second round with a 3: 6, 6: 1, 6: 2 against the Spaniard Rebeka Masarova.
