PARIS: Four-time French Open champion Iga Swiatek and second seed Elena Rybakina both eased into the second round with comfortable wins at a sweltering Roland Garros on Monday, as Stan Wawrinka bade an emotional farewell to the tournament.
PARIS, May 24 : The first round of the French Open continues on Monday with four-times champion Iga Swiatek, world number two Elena Rybakina and newly crowned Italian Open champion Elina Svitolina among the top seeds in action.
With Carlos Alcaraz not participating in the 2026 French Open due to a wrist injury, Jannik Sinner is an overwhelming -310 favorite to win the men's title at Roland Garros. According to ESPN Research, those are the second-shortest pre-tournament odds going into any Grand Slam event since at least 1990, trailing only Rafael Nadal (-400) at the 2009 French Open, a tournament where he was upset in the fourth round. Just before Alcaraz announced his withdrawal, he was +150 to win the tournament to Sinner's -164.
ROME: Elina Svitolina won the Italian Open on Saturday after beating Coco Gauff 6-4, 6-7 (3/7), 6-2 to claim her third Rome title. Ukraine’s Svitolina had not claimed a WTA 1000 title since her last victory at the Foro Italico eight years ago but prevailed over the ever-erratic Gauff to claim her 20th tournament triumph. Saturday’s win over Gauff was her third in a row against a player in the top four of the world rankings — including Iga Swiatek and Elena Rybakina — ahead of the French Open which starts next weekend. “Of course it gives me a lot of confidence going into Roland Garros,” Svitolina told reporters. “I’m very proud of the effort, of the intensity that I’ve been able to put in to beat those players.” American star Gauff was aiming to become the first American to win in the Italian capital since Serena Williams in 2016, but the problems with her serve which have so long dogged her game began to resurface on center court. Her serve was broken three times by Svitolina on her way to losing the first set, thanks in part to four double-faults, two of which came in the game which allowed her opponent to move ahead in the match. At 5-4 down she hit a bizarre second serve which flew into the wrong side of the court, before gifting Svitolina the advantage by another double-fault at set point. A livid Gauff then smacked herself on the head with her own racket before storming down the tunnel, emerging shortly afterwards to have a heated discussion with her coach Jean-Christophe Faurel. That talking to seemed to turn things around as Gauff got a handle on her serve in a hard-fought second set which featured some fun rallies, particularly as she won the tie-break. But two more breaks of serve cost Gauff her first
ROME, May 13 : Three-times champion Iga Swiatek was at her ruthless best as she dismantled American fifth seed Jessica Pegula 6-1 6-2 on Wednesday to set up a semi-final showdown at the Italian Open with Elina Svitolina.
ROME: Iga Swiatek gave another indication that she might be back to her brilliant best after destroying Jessica Pegula 6-1, 6-2 at the Foro Italico on Wednesday and breezing into the Italian Open semifinals. A three-time champion in Rome, Swiatek took little more than an hour to take care of fifth seed Pegula on center court, without facing a single break point. It was a show of force on her preferred surface not seen since she last won the French Open two years ago, and gave Swiatek her first semifinal appearance of the season. “I’ve been playing a bit differently, I would say.
