— I'm not saying that Świątek plays the best of all, but I think she might be the hardest to beat of all. Because she moves so well and because she knows how to keep the ball in play when she wants to. For me, Iga is the clear favorite on this court — says the winner of seven Grand Slam singles tournaments.

The Eurosport expert believes that the central court in Paris favors the player from Raszyn. "It's a clay court, it's especially difficult to beat her here," he notes. He adds that for both Jelena Ostapenko and Rybakina, who eliminated the Latvian, the draw was "the worst possible," since the defending champion is already waiting in the tournament bracket at this stage of the event.

Interestingly, although Świątek is considered a dominator on clay, she has a negative balance against Rybakina on clay. So far, both players have competed on it twice, and both times the Kazakh was better. First in 2023 in Rome, when our representative retired in the third set, and then a year later in Stuttgart, when the Pole lost 3:6, 6:4, 3:6.

The match between Iga Świątek and Jelena Rybakina is scheduled for Sunday, June 1. The match will not start before 1:00 p.m. The Pole and Kazakhstan will run onto the court after the end of the match between Jasmine Paolini and Elina Svitolina, which will start at 11:00 a.m.
