On a day when the women's section of French Open tennis was highlighted by the pullout of Ashleigh Barty, defending champion Iga Swiatek and fourth-seeded Sofia Kenin resumed normal course by winning their second-round matches to cruise into the third round at the French Open. Swiatek dispatched Rebecca Peterson of Sweden, 6-1, 6-1 in one hour and one minute to progress while Kenin beat American compatriot Hailey Baptiste 7-5, 6-3.

Poland's Swiatek was emphatic in her win over her Swedish rival, winning 80 per cent of her first service points, getting 15 break-points and ending up winning six of those. She also won 30 of the receiving points. "From the beginning, I felt like I had a good day today since I woke up, so I knew that you know, I am going to be in the right mood," the world No. 8 Swiatek said in her post-match press conference.
