Mboko Dominates Bartůňková to Reach Second Round at French Open
Victoria Mboko continued her impressive run in Paris with a commanding 6-1, 6-2 win over Czech qualifier Nikola Bartůňková in just 69 minutes. The 19-year-old seeded ninth showed remarkable composure on the clay, firing 22 winners and converting six of ten break points. After dropping the first game, Mboko reeled off six straight to take the opening set in around 30 minutes. She kept up the pressure in set two, responding immediately to any challenge and sealing the victory with a final ace. Mboko will next face two-time Olympic champion Kateřina Siniaková as she bids to better her third-round showing from last year’s debut at Roland Garros.
