World number one and defending champion Iga Świątek held off a match point as Naomi Osaka stumbled while leading 5-2 in the third set of their second-round French Open clash.The weather in Paris limited day four to just nine singles matches being completed, which will make for a compressed schedule going forward.
Świątek saved a set point before forcing a tiebreak that she won comfortably, but Osaka, back at the French Open for the first time since 2022 after a maternity break, went all in. "I know the French crowd gets players they don't like and they boo, but I know you love me so let's keep that." Tournament organisers said officials would ensure that fans followed the rules and respected players.
