Iga Świątek showed a different face. Roland Garros opened the Polish woman

The Polish woman came to the French capital as number 5 of the world ranking. Iga Świątek in recent months could not return to the winning path enough to reach for a tournament triumph. Ba, promotion to any finale, he was too big for a Polish woman. And this is strange because the Polish woman is famous for its specialization in the game on earth courts. Mączka in Stuttgart, Madrid or Rome, however, did not bring a break for the best Polish tennis player.

– I hope that the Polish woman will catch confidence by playing on her beloved courts. And he will be able to present himself better than in recent weeks. And this pressure, after all, will get a little from it. How many times have been said that a Polish woman must defend ranking points, chasing Sabalenka, and what? In fact, she did not defend them, she fell in the ranking below, it happened a bit, but he still has a chance for further successes – admitted in an interview to Dominik Senkowski, a journalist present in Paris during RG 2025.

It can therefore be concluded that Świątek came to Paris without such a large pressure, related to being the only and main favorite for the title.

The scenarios, however, were different, because while in the first installment it was evenly until Gema number seven, with breaking the Polish woman at 4: 3, in the second – it began with an unexpected 3: 1 for Sramkova.
