PARIS — On paper, this had all the markings of a straightforward second-round assignment for Iga Swiatek at Roland Garros.<\/p>\n

And eventually, the scoreboard got there too.<\/p>\n

Swiatek moved into the third round Wednesday with a 6-2, 6-3 win over Sara Bejlek in a match that never truly felt in danger — though it spent long stretches pretending otherwise.<\/p>\n

The first set alone lasted 46 minutes. The No. 3-seeded Swiatek was broken twice. She landed just 37 percent of her first serves.<\/p>\n

In the second set, the opening game dragged close to 10 minutes by itself, and by the time Swiatek finally held for 1-0, the pair had already crossed the one-hour mark.<\/p>\n

In the end, though, Swiatek still found more than enough answers. It was hardly spotless — she finished with 38 unforced errors against 17 winners — but she also broke the No. 35-ranked Bejlek seven times and won eight of 11 points at the net in the 1-hour, 31-minute victory.<\/p>\n

Swiatek has now reached the third round at all 24 Grand Slam events played this decade. In the Open Era, only Novak Djokovic produced a longer streak to start a decade, reaching the third round at the first 25 majors of the 2010s.<\/p>\n
