Marketa Vondrousova has already lost a set 6-0 in this tournament and managed to set through to the quarter-finals. Forcing her way past Iga Swiatek will take a whole heap of luck and skill though.

Swiatek has landed 14 of her 17 first serves meaning there’s been little for Vondrousova to go after. The Wimbledon champion manages to score with a drop shot but Swiatek responds through a smash winner to move back into the lead in this game.

From 30-15, the Pole takes the next two rallies and wins her seventh game in a row.

With Vondrousova left-handed both players are targeting the wide sides of court to challenge the other. Vondrousova tries to switch things up with a drop shot but Swiatek sweeps up the court and prods over a winning return.

At 30-30, Vondrousova double faults to leave Swiatek with a set point. The Pole controls the rally and forces Vondrousova to defend with looping returns.

Swiatek continues to smoke her returns back and eventually the dam bursts with Vondrousova going long and the set going to Swiatek.

Incredible start to this match.

Oh yes. Vondrousova unleashes a powerful forehand that Swiatek gives up chasing. The Wimbledon champion is starting to take more points away but Swiatek is a force of nature.

On clay she is almost unbeatable and a service game hold to 15 proves that. Swiatek is one game away from claiming the first set.

Vondrousova seems to have settled but that won’t be enough in this set. It takes multiple attempts (five I think) but finally Swiatek secures the break of serve to move ever further ahead in the first set.

It’s a backhand winner down the line that does it for her and Vondrousova looks up with an abashed look. She’s not enjoying the start to this match.

That was better from Vondrousova who falls in behind her own forehand and displaces Swiatek from the centre of court. The world number one was too good though. Her response is a backhand to the corner of the baseline which forces Vondrousova to stretch. Swiatek then come forward blazes back a return that her opponent can only fizz into the net.

Things aren’t all going Swiatek’s way but the fast and furious pace at which she’s working Vondrousova across court means she’s collecting more points than she’s losing.

A break point comes and goes after a backhand switch down the line flies out of play from Swiatek. This game goes to deuce.

There isn’t much of an answer at the minute for Vondrousova who is permanently on the back foot. Swiatek is pulling off some incredible shots, an inside out forehand gives her another point before she serves to the body and forces an error.

That’s three in a row for the Pole.

Vondrousova is a left-handed player and sends her opening serve down the centre line. Swiatek dispatches it with a dismissive backhand before winning the point with a shot to the opposite corner.

Vondrousova’s mian threat will come frommher own forehand but she needs to make it accurate. Swiatek opens up two break points and takes the first one.

This could be a quick match unless Vondrousova finds her feet quickly.

That’s great. Swiatek is employing some short back swing forehands and really leading with her shoulder to generate her power. The Pole rapidly storms to a hold of serve with some pinpoint accurate shots down the line.

What can Marketa Vondrousova do from her own serve now?

So it’ll be Iga Swiatek to get this match underway.

The world number one is the favourite to go and win this tournament and she’ll be hoping to set up a semi-final versus Coco Gauff by winning this one.

The first couple of points go Swiatek’s way and already she looks in great touch.

Next up on Court Philippe-Chatrier is the defending women’s champion Iga Swiatek who is taking on the Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova.

This should be an interesting one though Swiatek is the big favourite.
