On Thursday, there were no surprises in the third round match of the Roland Garros Grand Slam tournament with the participation of Iga Swiatek. The defender of the title of a year ago dealt with Claire Liu in two sets (6:4, 6:0), and after the meeting, the polka was literally overwhelmed with positive energy.
Iga Sviontek continues the excellent series of games on the courts of Roland Garros. In Paris, the Polish tennis player has won 20 of her last 21 matches. To the jubilee triumph of the polka on Thursday was added a victory against Claire Liu. Świątek was particularly impressive in the second set, adding another “bagel” to her collection (i.e. a 6-0 win).
Special dedication to Iga Swiatek with song Taylor Swift
A few days ago, we wrote about the funny reaction of the leader of the WTA rating, when, after winning the first round, she was asked for dedication, traditionally placed in the camera lens. Polka could not come up with something specific for a long time, finally deciding to admit that she missed playing in Paris.
Swiatek prepared for the initiation on Thursday. After defeating Liu, the Polish tennis player on the “eye” of the camera recorded, among other things: “I’m 22!”, Adding the hashtag “#Swiftie”. This is an obvious reference to the Taylor Swift song “22”. And it just so happened that on May 31, Swiatek celebrated his birthday.
With whom and when will Iga Sviontek play in the next match in Paris?
The next opponent of the Pole will be Xinyu Wang. A Chinese girl is equal to Sviontek. On the courts in Paris, she has already achieved success in life, because she never managed to go beyond the first round. Ze Swiatek will compete for a place in the fourth round of the Grand Slam tournament.
At the moment, the Chinese woman is ranked 80th in the world in tennis. In her match on Thursday, Wang defeated Rebecca Peterson of Sweden in straight sets (7-6, 6-2). The duel between Sviontek and the Chinese will take place on Saturday, June 3rd.
