World No.1 Aryna Sabalenka has breezed through her opening round at the French Open, brushing aside Spain's Jessica Bouzas Maneiro 6-4 6-2.
Sabalenka raced to a 4-0 lead on a sun-kissed Court Philippe Chatrier on Tuesday before unforced errors crept into her game, which allowed her opponent to pull two breaks back and serve for 5-5.
A double fault, however, handed the top-seeded Belarusian the first set and she opened up a 5-0 advantage in the second.
