Queen Of Clay Iga Swiatek's Reign Under Threat At Roland Garros
Iga Swiatek has reigned supreme at Roland Garros since winning the Grand Slam for the first time as a teenager in 2020, but a difficult past year means she is far from the obvious choice this time for the title. Swiatek dropped to a ranking of fifth this week, ending a 173-week stay inside the top two which now likely means she faces a tougher path to a fifth French Open crown in six attempts. She is without a title since winning for the third time in a row in Paris last June, the first woman to do so since Justine Henin lifted the trophy from 2005-07.
India's Top-Ranked Singles Player Sumit Nagal Fails To Qualify For French Open
India's top-ranked singles player, Sumit Nagal, suffered a disappointing second-round exit from the French Open qualifiers, losing 2-6, 4-6 to Austria's Jurij Rodionov on Wednesday at Roland Garros. The defeat not only ended Nagal's campaign in Paris but also marked the first time in 2025 that he will miss the main draw of a Grand Slam. Nagal, ranked 170th in the world, had begun his qualifying journey with a confident straight-sets win over American Mitchell Krueger. However, he couldn't replicate that form against the 225th-ranked Rodionov, who wrapped up the contest in one hour and 29 minutes.
