Iga Świątek will make a sensational decision? Novak Djoković chose such a path

The tennis world asks himself what happened to the Iga of Świątek on brick courts. The famous flour was a natural environment for the Polish master, winning on this surface with almost every rival. The situation changed dramatically in the 2025 season.

Iga Świątek can make a surprising decision. The expert took the floor

In recent tournaments, the Polish woman reached the semi -finals in Madrid, where she clearly lost to Coco Gauff and dropped out in the third round in Rome, turns out to be weaker than Danielle Collins. Especially the latter failure is painful, because the Polish tennis player wanted to rebuild her confidence in Italy as a defender of the title.

However, it became the opposite. The Polish woman lost at an early stage, which will cause that in the latest WTA ranking she would fall outside the podium, falling to the fourth place.

Marion Bartoli, Wimbledon champion from 2013, indicates what path he can choose now. The Polish woman is in a difficult position, on the last straight before RG 2025.

– It will be a difficult situation. Will Świątek ask for a wild card in one of the events preceding Roland Garros? This is a big question mark. For example, Novak Djokovic asked for a “wild card” in Geneva. I think Iga has deficiencies in the match game. I have the impression that he will probably sit with his team and wonder if they will choose 10 days of training in Paris at Roland Garros, where she will have a title to defend, will he actually go to the tournament? I think he will choose the latter option – said the Frenchwoman in The Tennis Gazette.

Where could she play Świątek? If not training at the courts in the French capital, a Polish woman can try her hand, e.g. in the WTA 500 struggle in Strasbourg or WTA 250 in Rabat. Both tournaments end on May 24. Tournament competition on RG 2025 starts the day later, but it is obvious that the Polish woman will not start playing on 25.05.

WTA 1000 Rome: Magda Linette and Magdalena Fręch eliminated

Sunday (i.e. May 11) was not successful for Polish singles who remained in the tournament in the capital of Italy. The Apennine Peninsula had to leave both Polish representatives. However, it should be noted that both Magda Linette and Magdalena Fręch did not hit the draw of the tournament ladder too much.

A more experienced Poznanian had to face Coco Gauff. Although Linette presented herself better than Świątek during the recent semi -final of the WTA 1000 in Madrid, she finally shared the fate of the vice -leaders of the WTA ranking. Linette lost to the American in two sets 5: 7, 3: 6. Although the loser, it was quite a successful performance opposite the tennis player, who will jump in the ranking of Świątek, becoming a new number 2 in the world.

The fring was worse. Łódź in the late afternoon, also in two sets, turned out to be weaker than the Olympic champion from the Paris Games (2024). Qinwen Zheng won 6: 3, 6: 2. The Polish woman could not enter the Sunday round of the third round for a long time. The fring began with a catastrophic 0: 5 in the first set to reach Chinese at a distance of 3: 5. However, Łódź began the pursuit too late and eventually lost the opening installment. In the second it was 2: 2, a lot of fighting, but from this state the fringes lost four more games with the eighth rocket of the WTA ranking. Thus saying goodbye to the tournament in Rome.

On Monday (i.e. May 12), Hubert Hurkacz will play his match. American Marcos Giron will be the Pole’s rival. Looking at the ranking, the favorite is a Wrocław citizen. However, Giron has already celebrated his compatriot, much higher Taylor Fritz. This shows that this opponent “hubi” must be careful. The beginning of the Giron – Hurkacz meeting around 12:30, broadcast on Polsat Sport and online at Polsat Box Go.
