Five years on and they meet at Roland Garros and for Swiatek, she has eased through the motions so far.

Alexander Zverev v Frances Tiafoe
On the Night Session, it is once again an ATP game which takes centre stage as Alexander Zverev again plays against Frances Tiafoe.
Two entertainers and in the case of Zverev, he is looking to catch form again after his horrific injury 12 months ago and is so far going through the rounds.
But Zverev has had it easier so far and also has a superb head to head record boasting six wins out of seven. Tiafoe has also lost their last four albeit this is their first meeting on clay.
Mirra Andreeva v Coco Gauff
A tie which interestingly is on Suzanne Lenglen which has surprised many given the intrigue that it has caused.
16-year-old Mirra Andreeva has been making real waves in the past few months at the Madrid Open and now Roland Garros.
Ons Jabeur herself said that tennis needs players like Andreeva and she has caught attention not only for her must watch tennis but also her superb interviews.
Her next opponent has a beautiful face according to Andreeva and they practiced together, the first time they met and now they share a court for real.
Will the Andreeva fairytale continue or will Gauff who herself knows what it is like as a teenager to have spotlight crush it?
