Iga Swiatek's lecture was particularly impressive: The 2020 French Open winner, who also won the competition among the juniors at Wimbledon, only played one game against Irina Camelia Begu. Swiatek will now face either Garbine Muguruza, the 2017 Wimbledon winner, or the Tunisian Ons Jabeur in the round of 16.

Aryna Sabalenka also had no problems with the Colombian Maria Osorio Serrano, who had fought her way into the peloton through qualification. Sabalenka won 6-0 and 6-3. In the next unde it will certainly be a lot more difficult for the Belarusian. Sabalenka plays against Elena Rybakina. And she most recently bowled Serena Wiiliams out of the tableau in Roland Garros.
Finally, Karolina Pliskova, still on the hunt for the first Grand Slam title of her career, left nothing to burn against compatriot Teresa Martincova at 6: 3 and 6: 3. Pliskova plays in the round of 16 against Berlin winner Ludmilla Samsonowa, who beat Sloan Stephens in three sets.
