Defending champion Garbiñe Muguruza of Spain reached the second round of the women's singles category in the French Open tennis championships after defeating Francesca Schiavone on Monday.
The 23-year-old Spaniard won 6-2, 6-4 over Schiavone in just an hour and a half, reports Efe.
After winning, Muguruza said that she was very happy, adding that debuting in a Grand Slam was never easy.
In round two, Muguruza will face Estonian Anett Kontaveit, 21, who won 7-5, 6-1 over Romanian Monica Niculescu.
