Swiatek won without even facing a game point against her. The match ended when Potapova hit a forehand into the net on the first match point.Their match started at around 11 a.m. on Court Philippe Chatrier. “Obviously I don’t want to complain too much about it because we are very blessed and privileged to be playing for a lot of money. There’s people working real jobs under worse conditions for less money and just trying to get by," she said. “It’s just tough for me knowing where some of my family come from and where things are, and I think about the people hearing this. Yes, if I was a person working, I would be upset to hear, you know, players complain.
“I’m lucky to train on clay since I was 10, which is not common for most Americans,” said Gauff, who followed Swiatek onto Court Philippe Chatrier.
