From 1995 to 2004, before Rafael Nadal claimed Roland Garros as his own personal domain, the French Open gave five men — Thomas Muster, Carlos Moya, Albert Costa, Juan Carlos Ferrero and Gaston Gaudio — their first and only Slam titles. It also gave Gustavo Kuerten all three of his.
All of those questions about who would step to the fore once Serena Williams walked away from the tennis tour — joining more recent No. 1 Ash Barty in retirement — seem to be getting answered with three names: Iga Swiatek, Aryna Sabalenka and Elena Rybakina.
Iga Swiatek’s French Open title defence will begin against Cristina Bucsa, while there could be a repeat of last year’s final against Coco Gauff in the last eight. The women’s singles draw was made on Thursday ahead of the main draw action starting on Sunday, live on discovery+, the Eurosport app and eurosport.com. Ad Swiatek, who stormed to the title last year at Roland Garros, will be up against Spanish world No.

World number two Aryna Sabalenka said beating former French Open champion Barbora Krejcikova in the second round of the tune-up event in Stuttgart will boost her preparation for the Roland Garros Grand Slam.
Iga Swiatek is looking to bounce back from a rib injury as she looks to defend her Stuttgart Open title, with the world No. 1 in action against Qinwen Zheng on Thursday. Swiatek was forced to pull out of the Miami Open and the Billie Jean King Cup qualifiers after suffering an injury during her run to the Indian Wells semi-finals last month.
