PARIS (AP) --- Iga Swiatek has improved her career record at the French Open to
42-3.
The four-time champion eliminated 35th-ranked Sara Bejlek 6-2, 6-3 to reach the
third round on Wednesday.
Swiatek won Roland Garros in 2020, 2022, 2023 and 2024.
With a heat wave still a factor in Paris, seventh-seeded Elina Svitolina
extended a run of solid form with a 6-0, 6-4 victory over Kaitlin Quevedo.
Svitolina is on an eight-match winning streak after raising the Italian Open
trophy.
Also, 11th-seeded Belinda Bencic beat American opponent Caty McNally 6-4, 6-0.
For the fourth straight day of this year's tournament, the temperature was
forecast to rise to at least 32 degrees Celsius (90 Fahrenheit).
Later Wednesday, 39-year-old Novak Djokovic faced 74th-ranked French player
Valentin Royer, while second-seeded Alexander Zverev was playing Tomas Machac
in the night session on Court Philippe-Chatrier.
