Iga Swiatek beat Czech youngster Sara Bejlek 6-2, 6-3 in the second round at Court Philippe-Chatrieron Wednesday (May 27). The Polish star won the match in one hour and 34 minutes to ease into the third round. Her opponent Magda Linette vanquished former Roland Garros champion Jelena Ostapenko to get to this stage.

The players are now entering the court and after the customary toss and other formalities, will do some knocking before the match gets underway on Centre Court, that is Court Philippe-Chatrier.

The first set starts, with Magda Linette serving first. The world number 73 players holds without much trouble to take the first game. Time now for a preliminary look at Swiatek's serve today.

It has been quite a topsy-turvy start to the set, with services being broken like nobody's business. It currently is back on serve at 3-4, with Swiatek about to serve in the eighth game.

After all the heave-ho, Swiatek eventually manages to close out the first set 6-4 in 39 minutes. Linette wouldn't be entirely discouraged by the way that set has gone, but she must win the second to stay alive in the tournament.

Swiatek makes a strong start to the second set as well, establishing a two-game cushion by breaking her compatriot and then holding serve. She leads 3-1 and is three games away from entering the fourth round.

Just when it looked like Swiatek would run away with the set and the match, Linette has clawed her way back a bit by pulling one break back to cut the deficit to 3-4. Swiatek still ahead, to be sure, and if she holds serve next, will go one game away from winning the match.

As described, Swiatek holds serve to lead 5-3 in the second set, having already clinched the first one. Linette is now serving to stay in the tournament.

That's it! Iga Swiatek bags game 10 to win the third set by 6-4 and with it she marches on to the fourth round of the French Open with a 6-4, 6-4 win over Magda Linette at Stade Roland Garros.

That's a wrap! That's a wrap from our end, we'll be back soon with another blog, until then, bye bye.
