Iga Świątek (No. 1, Poland) advanced to the third round of the women’s singles at the French Open tennis tournament (total prize money of 53.5 million euros, about 79.4 billion won).

Świątek defeated Naomi Osaka (134th, Japan) 2-1 (7-6 <7-1> 1-6) in the second round of the women’s singles on the fourth day of the tournament held at Stade Roland Garros in Paris, France on the 29th (local time). We won 7-5. 바카라사이트

Świątek, aiming for its third consecutive French Open women’s singles title in 17 years since Justine Henin (Belgium) in 2007, will meet the winner of the match between Marie Bozkova (42nd, Czech Republic) and Jana Pett (135th, Croatia) in the round of 32.

The match, which attracted attention as it was a match between Świątek, the current world number one, and Osaka, the former world number one, resulted in a close match that lasted 2 hours and 57 minutes.

Świątek won the first set after a tiebreak, but Osaka won the second set 6-1, and ran away with the game score to 5-2 in the third set, putting the team on the verge of a comeback victory.

However, after Iga Świątek kept its serve game and chased down 3-5, Osaka overcame a match point crisis in the following serve game and succeeded in breaking to make it 4-5.

Świątek gained momentum by winning Osaka’s serve game at 5-5 after three deuces, pushing Osaka to the brink.

Świątek’s record against the two is 2 wins and 1 loss.

Iga Świątek, who recently won this tournament for two years in a row and continued her 16th consecutive win at the French Open, said, “It was a very tense second round match,” and added, “I’m glad that Osaka seems to have returned to her former skills.”

Osaka returned to the court this year after giving birth last year and won the first round of this tournament, winning a major tournament for the first time in about two years and four months since the Australian Open in January 2022.

Osaka had a match point opportunity in her serve game, leading the game score 5-3, but could not finish the game because her backhand shot was caught in the net.

Also, during his serve game when the game score was 5-5, there were two double faults.

Osaka said, “I was pregnant when Civil Tech won this tournament last year,” and said, “Next time, I want to meet Civil Tech again on a hard court where I am strong.”
