“I felt good on court for sure, so I felt I could do whatever I had planned to do or whatever I wanted to do," Swiatek said following her win.

“I just had to adjust to the wind because the conditions were pretty tricky today. I’m happy that I did that well and I’m through,"

Swiatek will take on either Czech Sara Bejlek or Jaqueline Cristian of Romania in her upcoming round of 32 fixture in Paris.

“I think having some time off before helped me a little bit for sure, so I’m just ready to fight for it and compete."

The three-time reigning champion, Swiatek, is in pursuit of her fourth title on the trot and so mimicking the legendary Suzanne Lenglen’s century old record. Switek also managed to clinch the RG crown back in the year 2020, before surrendering her title in the following edition in the quarter final in a defeat to Maria Sakkari. With her win over Raducanu, the Pole also took her win count to 23 on the bounce.

“I think it’s probably the top spin that I play with," Swiatek  said.

“Honestly, I just love playing here. This place inspires me and that makes me work harder," the Pole revealed.
