Iga Swiatek will face Irina-Camelia Begu in the first round of the 2024 Paris Olympics tennis tournament. The match is scheduled for Saturday, July 27, 2024. Here's our Iga Swiatek vs Irina-Camelia Begu prediction.

Iga Swiatek vs Irina-Camelia Begu Preview

Iga Swiatek will be competing in her second Olympics. She lost in the second round in Tokyo to Spain's Paula Badosa. As the top seed this year, Swiatek is the overwhelming favorite to win the Gold Medal for Poland.

She has a phenomenal record at Roland Garros, which is the venue hosting the tournament. Swiatek has won four of the last five titles at the French Open, including this season when she saved a match point in the second round against Naomi Osaka and went all the way. The 23-year-old has a near-perfect record on clay this year, winning 21 of 22 matches. Her only defeat in that time was to Elena Rybakina in Stuttgart, and who is not competing at the Olympics.

Irina-Camelia Begu has the seemingly impossible task of defeating the top seed Iga Swiatek at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Begu has a current world ranking of No. 136 but has been ranked as high as No. 22 in the past.

She is 17-7 on clay in all competitions this year and reached the semifinal of her most recent tournament on the dirt in Palermo, where she lost to Karolina Muchova. The Romanian is a very experienced player and has been to the second week of Roland Garros twice in her Grand Slam career.

Iga Swiatek vs Irina-Camelia Begu Head-To-Head

• Swiatek leads Begu 1-0 in their head-to-head, winning their lone meeting at the 2021 Wimbledon Championships.

Iga Swiatek vs Irina-Camelia Begu Prediction

There is just no stopping Iga Swiatek on the clay of Roland Garros. It would take an otherworldly performance from any of the 63 women in the draw to knock her out. And right now, Begu just isn't cut from the same cloth as the World No.1, who has an incredible 21-1 record on the surface this season. Bank on Swiatek to safely progress into the second round for the loss of no more than four games.
