PARIS—World number one Iga Swiatek put on a commanding display against Ukrainian qualifier Lesia Tsurenko with a 6–2 6–0 opening victory on Monday to kickstart her bid for a second French Open title and extend her winning run to 29 matches.

Swiatek, who won the 2020 Roland Garros title without dropping a set, arrived in Paris having won her last five tournaments, including four WTA 1000 events, and is the overwhelming favorite to lift the Suzanne Lenglen Cup again.
