Top seed and defending champion Iga Swiatek began her clay season with a straight sets win over China’s Qinwen Zheng in the second round on Thursday.
The Pole, who is playing for the first time since her semifinal defeat to Elena Rybakina in Indian Wells last month, needed an hour and 27 minutes to beat the world no. 25, 6-1, 6-4.
The world no. 1 won 84% points on the back of her first serve and was broken just once in the match, while she converted half of the eight break points that she held to begin her title defence in Stuttgart, where she beat Aryna Sabalenka in the final last year.
With the win, Swiatek improved her season record to 17-4. She has featured in two finals this season, winning her 12th career title in Doha and finishing runner-up to Barbora Krejcikova in Dubai. Swiatek will be hoping to reach a fourth semifinal of the season with a win on Friday.
