PARIS (Reuters) -Former finalist Marketa Vondrousova overcame France's Chloe Paquet to win 6-1 6-3 and reach the last 16 of the French Open on Friday.

Vondrousova, who became the first unseeded player to win Wimbledon last year, was a beaten finalist at Roland Garros in 2019 and the Czech player kept alive her dream of returning to the final with her straight-sets win over the French player.
