The four-time Roland Garros champion is seeking to reclaim the title she won three times consecutively between 2022 and 2024, before losing out at the semifinal stage to top seed Aryna Sabalenka last season.

But the diminutive Czech’s own service problems came back to bite her as Swiatek broke for the fourth time to claim the opener. Swiatek held serve to claim a mammoth opening game in the second frame as both women found their range with their groundstrokes. But Swiatek proved the more
