Iga Swiatek is through to the next round of Roland Garros after defeating Anett Kotanveit in straight sets.
Roland Garros defending champion is through to the next round with a win over Anett Kontaveit. The Polish player survived a very close 1st set which allowed her to win the match in straight sets. Swiatek lost her serve in the first game giving Kontaveit the lead.
The Estonian player kept the lead for the better part of the set but Swiatek was able to pull it back at 4-3 making it 4-4. She then took a 5-4 lead and the players traded a few more games ending up in the tiebreak.
In it, it was Swiatek who proved more composed winning it 7-4. It was a very close set for Swiatek which she could have easily lost. Kontaveit took the loss of set pretty hard and played a very poor 2nd set.
Swiatek completely destroyed her in the 2nd set winning all six games played. Kontaveit received a parting gift from Swiatek in a set where she was simply outplayed. She tried to counter aggressiveness with aggressiveness but committed too many errors.
