The first set was the eighth seed's third straight bagel after thumping Karolina Pliskova 6-0, 6-0 in the Italian Open final earlier this month, which saw her break into the world's top 10. Juvan put up much more of a fight in the second set, though, battling back from 3-1 down before missing two break points in the 11th game.
But her resistance ended shortly afterwards, as Swiatek came back from 40-0 down in the next game and secured victory on her fourth match point in the sunshine on Court Philippe Chatrier. "In the second set it was really hard, she didn't give me any birthday gifts," added Swiatek. "So I'm really happy I could win those important points."
