IGA SWIATEK made a flying start to her bid for a third successive Roland Garros crown.
The world number one from Poland spent exactly one hour on Court Philippe Chatrier as she dispatched French wild card Leolia Jeanjean 6-1 6-2.
Swiatek is bidding to become the first woman to win three straight French Opens since Justine Henin in 2007.
She arrived in Paris in fine form having won back-to-back titles on clay in Madrid and Rome.
“Hopefully, I’m going to be here as long as possible,” she said.
“These last tournaments gave me a lot and I managed to play tennis in any conditions and under any circumstances. Every tournament is different and the next chapter.”
