Paris, May 31 (Reporter) Iga Swiatek marked her birthday in style with a commanding victory at the 2024 French Open, defeating Marie Bouzkova in straight sets 6-4, 6-2 to advance to the fourth round. The World No.1, Swiatek, showed her dominance on the clay court, securing the win in just over an hour and a half. Her next opponent will be Anastasia Potapova, who overcame Xinyu Wang in a tough three-set match earlier in the day. Swiatek's path to the quarterfinals has been slightly eased with the elimination of Danielle Collins, who was expected to be a strong contender. With her loss, Swiatek aims to profit from the opportunity, eyeing her fourth title in Paris this week. Against Bouzkova, Swiatek took control early on, establishing leads of 3-1 and 4-2 in the first set. Although Bouzkova managed to break Swiatek's serve to make it 5-3, the Pole held firm to claim the set. The second set saw Swiatek dominate, quickly racing to a 4-0 lead and eventually sealing the match on her fourth match point. Meanwhile, on Court Suzanne-Lenglen, Ons Jabeur also advanced to the next round with a hard-fought victory over Leylah Fernandez. The Tunisian secured a 6-4, 7-6(5) win, displaying her prowess on the court. Jabeur, who has shown improvement in her form after a slow start to the season, demonstrated her skill with 14 passing winners against Fernandez. With her eyes set on the grass-court season, Jabeur's performance in Paris underscores her ability to shine on the big stage. Both Swiatek and Jabeur will look to continue their impressive runs as the French Open progresses, with fans eagerly anticipating their upcoming matches...////...
