Elina Svitolina (13) had a strong start at Roland Garros. In the first round, she easily defeated Turkish player Zeynep Sonmez (76).

The match lasted 1 hour and 13 minutes, concluding with a score of 6:1, 6:1.

Svitolina dominated from the outset, giving her opponent no chances during her service games. In the first set, Sonmez failed to hold any of her games.

However, there were some tense moments during Svitolina's serves. In the third game, with a break point, the Turkish player unsuccessfully attempted to convince the umpire that Svitolina's shot was out. At a score of 0:4, Sonmez managed to secure a single break, but it did not affect the outcome of the set - 6:1 in favor of Svitolina.

The second set mirrored the first. Elina continued to dominate her opponent on return: Sonmez managed to hold her serve only at the end of the match. Svitolina won all her games and celebrated a well-deserved victory.

During the match, Svitolina hit 2 aces, made 2 double faults, and scored 6 breaks. Her opponent did not hit any aces, made 2 service errors, and converted 1 break out of 8 chances.
