33 h. ago Swiatek dismantles Raducanu to maintain quest for fourth French Open title in a row

Defending champion sweeps aside Raducanu 6-1, 6-2Swiatek extends record to 5-0 against British opponentJust a couple of weeks after stressing the importance of playing against the best players in the world more frequently in order to improve her own game, Emma Raducanu found herself up against the greatest of them all. She walked out onto Court Philippe-Chatrier on Wednesday afternoon facing the toughest challenge in her sport.The task of facing Iga Swiatek at the French Open, her fortress, was unsurprisingly too much for Raducanu and in the second successive grand slam tournament she was dismantled by her imperious opponent, the fifth seed, who eased into the third round at Roland Garros with a 6-1, 6-2 win.

Live coverage from Roland Garros from 10am BSTSend Katy an email with your thoughtsOns Jabeur, who lost in the first round yesterday, has called out organisers for not scheduling women’s matches in the night slot, saying: “I don’t think they have daughters.” Last year all 11 prime-time matches featured men, and that’s been the case too for the first four days of this year’s tournament – tonight 12th seed Holger Rune will face the American world No 137 Emilio Nava – so it’s hardly the contest of the day. Why couldn’t, say, Swiatek and Raducanu have played their match this evening? What’s more baffling about the French Open’s stance is that Amelie Mauresmo – who does have a daughter – is the tournament director. You’d think she’d be more keen to promote the women’s game.The players are out on another overcast day in Paris, so expect heavy conditions again. Among the early starters: the Olympic champion Zheng Qinwen, the red-hot Italian Lorenzo Musetti, the Canadian teenage winning mac...
