World No 1 Iga Swiatek celebrated her 23rd birthday in style with an emphatic 6-4 6-2 victory over Marie Bouzkova to reach the last 16 of the French Open on Friday.

Swiatek survived a major scare in the previous round when she saved a match point against Naomi Osaka before sealing a hard-fought victory, but against Bouzkova she picked apart the Czech player’s serve with some precision hitting.

The two-time defending champion at Roland Garros showed no signs of a hangover from her three-setter with Osaka and consolidated an early break to go 3-1 up in the opening set before Bouzkova fought back from 5-2 down to briefly give the Pole a workout.
