Today’s clash will be the first-ever meeting between Swiatek and Emerson.

Four-time champion Iga Swiatek and 17-year-old Emerson Jones are out on the court. After the customary pre-match formalities and warm-up rallies, the players take their respective positions, and under the scorching sun in Paris, it's Swiatek who serves first.

After losing the first two games without scoring a single point, Jones roars back with a game win, despite Swiatek saving two break points. This will settle some nerves for the young Australian.

Swiatek utterly dominates her younger opponent in what has been a fairly one-sided first set. Despite some spirited play from Jones, he has had no answer to Swiatek’s famed returns.

After a dominating start by Swiantek in the second set, Jones gets the break in the second attempt. She scores her first point after two games, and claws her way back, even if she still has a long way to go.

It’s a similarly dominant performance from Swiatek to clinch the second set and the match. Credit to young Jones for sticking to the task until the end, but it has been a trial by fire in her clay-court debut.
