Iga Swiatek returned to her favorite court, the same one where she has won four Roland Garros titles (2020, 2022, 2023, 2024), three of them in a row. However, this time was different. This time it was the first round of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, and she defeated Irina-Camelia Begu 6-2, 7-5 in 1 hour and 46 minutes. After an uncontested first set, she had to dig deep in the second set after losing her service. But she came back and won the set and the match to start her Olympic journey on the right foot. Her next opponent will be the winner between the Argentine Nadia Podoroska and the French Diane Parry.
