As is often the case, Iga Swiatek didn't spend too long on Court Philippe Chatrier to get through the first round of this 2024 edition of the French Open. The world n°1 made short work of French qualifier Leolia Jeanjean, winning in just one hour and two short sets (6-1, 6-2). All of this, perhaps, to make way more quickly for the day's clash between Rafael Nadal and Alexander Zverev.
Another clash is on the cards, as the Polish player, two-time title-holder, will take on Japan's Naomi Osaka, former world No.1 and back this year after giving birth to her daughter.
