Swiatek wins French Open

Iga Swiatek commenced her Olympic tennis campaign with a hard-fought victory against Romania's Irina-Camelia Begu, winning 6-2, 7-5 on the renowned Philippe Chatrier Court at Roland Garros. Swiatek, the world No. 1 and a three-time French Open champion, initially dominated the match but faced a challenge in the second set, falling behind 5-3 before rallying to clinch the win. The match was played under a closed roof due to rain delays that affected the day's schedule at the Paris Olympics. Italy's Jasmine Paolini also advanced, defeating Ana Bogdan 7-5, 6-3. Swiatek's next opponent will be either Nadia Podoroska or Diane Parry, as she aims for Olympic gold on her favorite clay surface. The tournament has seen significant disruptions, with rain affecting play on the outside courts, where many other top players are set to compete.
