It seems that it will be a smooth sailing for Iga Swiatek also at the 2022 Roland Garros as she started with a very dominant win over Lesia Tsurenko.
The young Pole was coming to the French capital after winning 5 tournaments in a row, last being in Rome where she didn't lose a set. In the first round of the 2022 Roland Garros, Iga Swiatek faced a qualifier, Lesia Tsurenko and she was dominant in her opening match at the second Grand Slam of the year.
From the start of the match, the Ukrainian couldn't keep up with her opponent as she lost first 12 out of the first 14 points. That guaranteed Swiatek a swift 3-0 lead which she increased by adding another break after winning another 9 points and getting a 5-1 lead in the first set. However, she then lost her serve and one break which she recovered in the next game with a game to love.
In the second set, it was a one sided performance by the Pole. She hit 10 winners, while her opponent hit only 1 and both players made 7 unforced errors. Swiatek won 69% of the points in the set what resulted in a quick overall victory 6-2, 6-0 in less than an hour.
