Iga Swiatek vs Cristina Bucsa: World number one Iga Swiatek will face Spain’s Cristina Bucsa, ranked 67th, on Sunday (May 28) in the first round of the 2024 French Open in Paris.
The 21-year-old has reached four finals this year, lifting two trophies, in Doha and Stuttgart. But her matches en route to the French Open did not end in her favor, as she lost two WTA 1000 finals to Barbora Krejcikova and Aryna Sabalenka. The three-time Grand Slam champion even picked up a thigh injury during her quarterfinal match against Elena Rybakina at the 2024 Italian Open.
Meanwhile, Bucsa will be entering the contest on the back of a four-match losing streak, after her first-round exits at Madrid, Rome, and Strasbourg. Her notable achievement this year was at the 2024 Australian Open where she reached the third round but couldn’t get past Swiatek to reach the next stage. She has won the doubles titles in Lyon and also won a round in Indian Wells and Stuttgart. Also Read: Breaking: Andy Murray Withdraws From French Open 2024
