Iga Swiatek vs Claire Liu: French Open 2023 Preview, Schedule, Date, Form Guide, Head to Head, Live Streaming

Iga Swiatek began her title defence against Cristina Bucsa with a difficult first set. She faced a break point at 4-4 after trailing by a break twice. Once she took the lead, the top seed sprinted to a 6-4, 6-0 victory in 75 minutes; it was her 11th bagel set win of the season, bringing her total to halfway with last year.
In each of his previous four visits to Roland-Garros, the two-time champion has advanced to the second week. However, she cannot afford to make a mistake this time because her world No. 1 ranking is at stake. This season, the Pole has been denied any trophy above the WTA 500 level, most recently falling in the Madrid final and retiring in Rome (right thigh).

Claire Liu arrived in Paris after losing five of her six clay-court matches this season. Even her lone victory came in Rome against Camilla Rosatello, who was ranked 296th. The American certainly gave a better performance in the first round against Ylena In-Albon, defeating the 149th-ranked qualifier 6-1, 6-4. It is the first time she has made it through the first round of Roland-Garros. She would be wary of her 0-5 record in the second round of Grand Slams, with her most recent bid coming in Melbourne this year against Belinda Bencic. Her career top 20 win-loss record is 1-12, with her only victory coming in October against then-world No. 2 Ons Jabeur in Monastir.
