World No 1 Swiatek, who celebrated her 22nd birthday on Wednesday, had difficulty finding her rhythm in windy conditions against American Claire Liu, before pulling away to win 6-4, 6-0. Rybakina fought off a Czech teenager for the second straight round, following up her success against 16-year-old Brenda Fruhvirtova by defeating 18-year-old Linda Noskova 6-3, 6-3. Seventh seed Ons Jabeur has also looked strong so far, the Tunisian seeing off Oceane Dodin 6-2, 6-3. Here, Mail Sport's LEWIS STEELE rounds up some of the big stories from Paris. Novak Djokovic was seen with a button-like device on his chest at the French Open Djokovic reveals his biggest secret Novak Djokovic says he feels like Iron Man by wearing a ‘patented nanotechnology’, which claims to turn heat to light, supplied by an Italian firm. The 22-time Grand Slam winner was seen with a button-like device on his chest and said: ‘It’s the biggest secret of my career! 'When I was a kid I liked Iron Man a lot, so I tried to impersonate him.’ Lacoste 'shedding crocodile tears' There was a protest spotted in Porte d’Auteuil as Ukrainians vented their anger at tournament sponsors Lacoste continuing to do business in Russia. Signs read ‘stop doing business with (Vladimir) Putin’ next to a picture of the president wearing Lacoste gear and holding a grenade in the colour of a tennis ball. The Ukraine Solidarity Project told Mail Sport: ‘Lacoste is shedding crocodile tears for the people of Ukraine. They are bringing shame on Roland Garros and on tennis.’ Wrong call raises a smile A gaffe on Court Philippe Chatrier as the DJ booth malfunctioned and a member of staff’s radio call towards a colleague accidentally came out of the loudspeaker system. ‘Bonjour, bonjour?’ they said. It got a chuckle from Swiatek and the umpire. Swiatek's shout out to Swift World No 1 Iga Swiatek is a Taylor Swift fan and, after breezing past Claire Liu into round three, wrote on the camera (above), ‘I’m feeling 22 — #Swiftie’, a nod to the Pole turning 22 on Wednesday. Swiatek then had a bizarre exchange with a reporter who made six Swift-related puns. Her favourite album is Red and she says she is in her Reputation era.
