Jennifer Capriati steamed through the second round of the French Open in baking conditions on the Philippe Chatrier Centre Court today, beating Emilie Loit of France 6-2, 7-5 in 65min.

US fourth seed Capriati ripped through the opening set with three breaks of serve, though she did drop her own once.
