Among the main threats to Swiatek’s bid to become the first woman to win four consecutive French Open titles are Aryna Sabalenka and Coco Gauff.
Sabalenka replaced Swiatek as world number one towards the end of 2024, having won two of the four Grand Slams that year.
The Belarusian, runner-up at the Australian Open in January, is in imperious form. She won the Madrid Open in the build-up to Roland Garros and has won 34 of her 40 matches this season.
American Gauff, meanwhile, has not lost before the quarter-finals in her past four French Open appearances.
Runner-up three years ago, 2023 US Open champion Gauff was denied another title tilt by Swiatek in the semi-finals last year.
