Paris Olympics 2024 Tennis: Iga Swiatek vs Irina Camelia Begu preview, stats and odds of round 1
Iga Swiatek to play her first round game against Romanian veteran Irina Begu in Paris Olympics 2024. Check out all the details of this first round game on Sports Info.
The one player who has been dominating the WTA scene this season is Iga Swiatek. The young Polish has already won her third consecutive Roland Garros title this season and will have her eyes on her first Olympic gold medal as well. Swiatek is considered one of the best players on Clay and this is the same venue where she went on to win some major titles already. This time she will have the opportunity to represent her country in the same venue and go after Gold this season.
Iga Swiatek will be up against experienced Romanian campaigner Irina-Camelia Begu in the first-round game at the Paris Olympics and this will be a great opportunity for her to this time win against her nation. It might not be as easy as she thinks since Begu has played some great tennis in the past and was among the top 22 players in the WTA rankings. However, looking at her form she will definitely try to get the better of her in this first-round match and get one step closer to Olympic glory.
This will be only the second match Iga Swiatek will be playing against Begu. The last time these two faced each other was back in 2021 when Swiatek completely dominated her in the round 3 game. The Polish superstar this time is in great form and will look to give her the same treatment in this upcoming game as well. This will also be a chance at redemption from the Romanian and she will want to get the better of Swiatek in this match. We all will have to wait and see what these two players have in store in this upcoming game.

Overall this is set to be another incredible match to look forward to this season involving another big star in the game.
