World number three Iga Swiatek advanced to the third round of the French Open, overcoming numerous unforced errors to secure a 6-2 6-3 win over Sara Bejlek. Despite making 38 unforced errors, Swiatek maintained control and will face either Jelena Ostapenko or Magda Linette next.
World number three Iga Swiatek continued her quest for form at the French Open, securing a third-round berth with a 6-2 6-3 victory over Czech opponent Sara Bejlek. Despite the win, the match was marked by Swiatek's 38 unforced errors, including several double faults.
The Polish player attributed her lack of precision to the defensive skills of her opponent. Swiatek commented, "She was pretty good in defense, and I had many attack opportunities. This led to more mistakes, as pushing the ball is easier than adding energy to open the court."
Next, Swiatek will face either former champion Jelena Ostapenko or fellow Pole Magda Linette in her pursuit of the last 16. Despite frequent errors, including 19 in the first set, Swiatek managed to control the match, overcoming an early break and ultimately securing the win when Bejlek netted a forehand.
