“I just go to the park, do some legos, read a book and do not follow too many TV shows, because then I have strange dreams,” said Iga Swiatek with a smile as she asked about her daily routine at the French Open. The answer was looked into the unwavering thinking of four -time champion Roland Garros, who continues to make one of the most difficult tennis tournaments to look like a weekend walk.
On Wednesday, May 28, Swiatlek performed fast work British Star and 2021 US Open Champion Emma Raducan, won 6-1, 6-2 in just over an hour to extend his stunning winning strip in Paris for 23 consecutive matches. She has now arrived in the third round of the French Open since she made his debut in the Grand Slam in Grand Slam in Hlín since 2019. French open, 4th day most important |
Now she defeated Raducan at all five of their meetings, all in direct sets, the underlining of the Gulf between the clay championship in the clay court and the ever -evolving Raducan game on red dirt.
It was a subdued accumulation of Roland Garros for the world No. 5, whose best result in the clay is to run to Madrid’s open semifinals. In Paris, however, she looked turned on and was ready to defend her title for the third successive time.

Swiatle is now watching the unprecedented fourth consecutive title in Roland Garros – something no woman in the open era achieved. And its dominance is not limited to clay. He is the only player – male or female – who has reached the third round since the beginning of 2020 at all 21 Grand Slam events. Next closest? Novak Djokovic, with 18.
“Probably the toppin I play,” she said as she asked her Paris success. “I love the game. This place inspires me and forces me to work harder. I think having some time off before helping me a little. I’m ready to fight and compete.”
Against Raducan, who fought with illness and form, Swiato briefly plunged in the opening games and soon recorded eight unforced errors before switching the gear with surgical accuracy. The British in the second set carved three points of breaks, but could not convert and swivel seal the victory with the backhand trademark along the line.
Then they face either Sara Bejlek or Jaqueline Cristian. But with her quiet routines, clean head and Clay Court command, Swiatlek remains the worst force in Paris – TV shows or not.
