Australian Open champion Caroline Wozniacki was done with hanging around as she walloped Georgina Garcia Perez 6-1 6-0 in double quick time to reach the third round of the French Open.
With the first three matches scheduled on Court Philippe Chatrier on day four of the claycout major all going the distance - and lasting a combined eight hours 46 minutes - Wozniacki did not even make it into the arena till shortly before 7pm local time.
Fifty one minutes later the Danish second seed was offering Spain's Garcia Perez a consolation handshake after she secured a round three meeting with the winner of the all-French tussle between Alize Cornet and Pauline Parmentier.
Top seed Simona Halep reached the second round a day later than expected and not without a fright as she recovered from a slow start to beat American Alison Riske 2-6 6-1 6-1.
The Romanian world number one stayed under wraps until the fourth day of the tournament after her opening match was cancelled on Tuesday evening because of a schedule backlog.
It appeared some of Tuesday's rain had got into the works as she lost the opening five games, sprinkling unforced errors across Court Philippe Chatrier, but there was no sign of panic and her game eventually clicked into gear.
The 83rd-ranked Riske won three games in her previous claycourt meeting with the twice Roland Garros runner-up but broke serve three times in taking the opening set.
Halep quickly reasserted her authority though with the depth and power of her ground strokes stopping Riske in her tracks - conceding just 14 points in sets two and three.
Fourth seed Elina Svitolina advanced with a regulation 6-3 6-4 victory over Slovakia's Viktoria Kuzmova while twice Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova took just over an hour to beat Spain's Lara Arruabarrena 6-0 6-4.
