Two of the French Open title favourites are safely through to the third round after Iga Swiatek and Elena Rybakina both secured comfortable straight-set wins on Thursday.
Iga Swiatek booked her place in the third round of the French Open despite an early scare against Claire Liu, coming through 6-4 6-0 on Court Philippe-Chatrier. The world No. 1 flew out of the traps and was a double break up after just three games and on course for a quick-fire first set win.
Casper Ruud survived a mid-match lull to reach the French Open third round with a 6-3 6-2 4-6 7-5 victory over Italian youngster Giulio Zeppieri. The Norwegian fourth seed was in cruise control after opening up a two-set advantage on Court Philippe-Chatrier, but a sloppy game when serving to stay in the third set gifted his opponent a route back into the match. Ad Zeppieri suddenly looked alive and full of belief as he cruised through his first two service games of the fourth set, only to falter at 2-2 as Ruud regained control with an important break.
