Iga Swiatek vs Diane Parry Preview
Iga Swiatek opened her Paris Olympics account with a commanding straight-sets win over Romania's Irina-Camelia Begu. Swiatek took an hour and 46 minutes, which is quite lengthy by her own lofty standards, to get the job done, 6-2, 7-5.
In the victory, Swiatek landed 67% of first serves. She won 70% of first-serve points (28/40). Swiatek won 50% of second-serve points (10/20). She converted five of 15 break points. Swiatek will need to cut down on an error-prone performance that yielded negative winners to unforced errors ratio of 19 to 30.
Diane Parry, meanwhile, represents the home nation of France. She won her opening match 7-6, 7-5 against Argentina's Nadia Podoroska, who is a former semifinalist at Roland Garros. Parry used her court craft to win the tightest straight sets match of his career.
In the victory, Parry landed 68% of first serves. She won 64% first-serve points (35/55). Parry won 50% second-serve points (13/26) and converted five of 15 break points. But she was also broken four times, suggesting she is underperforming on serve.

Iga Swiatek vs Diane Parry Prediction
Swiatek is the overwhelming favorite to win the gold medal in the singles tournament. Although her campaign started slowly on Saturday, her level will only improve with each round.
Parry can count on getting the majority of the home support, but I can't see her forehand withstanding the ferocity and speed of the heavy ball the Pole will throw her way. She can try to incorporate the slice to dispute Swiatek's rhythm to make the match a little bit competitive, but it's tough to imagine the Frenchwoman getting any reward with her style of play.
