Four-time former winner Iga Swiatek moved into the women's singles third round at the French Open on Wednesday with a 6-2, 6-3 victory over Sara Bejlek in a match in which she held the upper hand throughout.

Swiatek overcame an uneven serving performance and 38 unforced errors to beat Bejlek and move to the third round, setting up a possible meeting against Jelena Ostapenko.

In their second round clash, the No. 3-seeded Swiatek was broken twice. The former World No.1 landed just 37 per cent of her first serves. In the second set, the opening game dragged close to 10 minutes by itself, and by the time Swiatek finally held for 1-0, the pair had already crossed the one-hour mark. In the end, Swiatek still found more than enough answers. It was hardly spotless but she also broke the No. 35-ranked Bejlek seven times and won eight of 11 points at the net in the 1-hour, 31-minute victory. Agencies
