World No 3 Iga Swiatek continued her bid to rediscover her best form at the French Open, reaching the third round with a 6-2 6-3 victory over Czech Sara Bejlek in a match littered with unforced errors.
The four-time champion, who has lost only twice at Roland-Garros since 2020, had far too much quality for her opponent but made 38 unforced errors, including a series of double faults.
“I was not happy with my first serve, I need to look at what happened, I wasn’t feeling the rhythm of the ball quite well so I’ll adjust that in practice,” said Swiatek.
Swiatek will next face fellow Pole Magda Linette for a place in the last 16, after the latter knocked out 2017 champion Jelena Ostapenko 6-2 2-6 6-2.
