French Open: Iga Swiatek Celebrates Birthday With Easy Romp Against Bouzkova
Stade Roland Garros: Three-time champion and women's World No.1 Iga Swiatek perfectly celebrated her birthday as she romped into the fourth round of the French Open, beating Czech Marie Bouzkova in straight sets on Court Philippe-Chatrier on Friday.
Swiatek became the seventh player into the women’s fourth round, beating Czech Bouzkova 6-4, 6-2 at Stade Roland Garros to set up a clash with Anastasia Potapova in the fourth round. Potapova overcame China’s Xinyu Wang 7-5, 6-7(6), 6-4 in a third-round match on Court 14.
Tunisian star Ons Jabeur also made it into the second week after negotiating a tricky test against Leylah Fernandez from Canada. Jabeur sealed a 6-4, 7-6(5) win in a third-round encounter. The eighth seed was a point from being forced into a decider late in the second but managed to quell the fightback. Jabeur, a three-time major finalist, next plays Denmark's Clara Tauson in the fourth round on Sunday.
