French Open – women’s results: Iga Swiatek doesn’t give Claire Liu a chance, Elena Ryabkina defeats Linda Noskova

“It wasn’t easy. I’m very happy that I played so well in the second set,” said Iga Swiatek, who will meet Wang Xinyu from China in the third round.

The exceptional player had given up in the quarter-finals of the French Open at the WTA tournament in Rome due to a thigh injury, but made a fit impression in the first days of Paris.

Beatriz Haddad Maia, who kicked Tatjana Maria out of the tournament, defeated Diana Shnaider of Russia 6-2, 5-7, 6-4, as expected.

The 14th seeded Brazilian had to fight 2:43 hours before making it into the 3rd round perfectly.

Madison Keys, French Open semi-finalist from 2018, had to surprisingly lose the world number 138 in the US duel. Beat Kayla Day 2-6, 6-4, 4-6.

Shooting star Andreeva causes a sensation

Meanwhile, teenager Mirra Andreeva continues to cause a sensation.

The only 16-year-old Russian, who fought her way through qualification in Roland Garros, beat Diane Parry from France 6-1, 6-2.

In 2022 Andreeva was in the quarterfinals of the junior competition – now last year’s finalist Coco Gauff (USA) could wait in round three.
