Last year, in Paris, Halep defeated Swiatek 6-1, 6-0. The Pole managed to make up for it from this point of view. As Simona Halep did in the match with Amanda Anisimova, a player who eliminated her in 2019 from the French Open.
In the second set, Halep managed to be more aggressive, but Swiatek’s executions annoyed her more and more. On a few occasions, Iga Swiatek was helped by the net, which threw the ball into the field of Simona Halep.
With remarkable enthusiasm and the desire for revenge after last year’s failure, Iga Swiatek finally managed to defeat Simona Halep, scoring 6-1, 6-2. An almost perfect match for the Warsaw teenager, who will play the quarterfinals with the winner between Martina Trevisan (15th place WTA) and Kiki Bertens (8th place WTA).
