Defending champion eases to 6-1, 6-2 second-round win
‘There are certain things I just know I need to do better’
Emma Raducanu believes that her heavy defeat against Iga Swiatek in the second round of the French Open has illustrated the distance between herself and the best players in the world and the need for her to continue improving her game.
Swiatek, a four-time French Open champion and the fifth seed in Paris this year, produced an imperious performance to defeat Raducanu 6-1, 6-2 to reach the third round. Swiatek is attempting to win her fourth successive French Open singles title, a feat that has never been achieved by a female player in the open era.
