- World No 1 beats Leolia Jeanjean 6-1, 6-2
- The Pole and Osaka have eight grand slam titles between them
Iga Swiatek, the world No 1, began her pursuit of a third consecutive French Open title by easing through an efficient 6-1, 6-2 first-round win over Leolia Jeanjean, a French qualifier, to set up a highly anticipated contest with Naomi Osaka.
The match will see the two most successful players in the draw, both four-time grand slam champions, go head to head for the first time in two years. Osaka, who is unseeded as she continues her return from maternity leave, reached the second round on Sunday with a narrow 6-1, 4-6, 7-5 win over Lucia Bronzetti and she will be a significant underdog against the tournament favourite.
