Iga Swiatek vs Elena Rybakina preview
Three-time defending champion Iga Swiatek will face a reinvigorated Elena Rybakina in the fourth round of the 2025 French Open on Sunday (June 1).
Trending
Swiatek has put her recent weeks' troubles behind her in fine style so far at the claycourt Major. The Pole has yet to drop a set during her campaign for a fifth title in Paris, having defeated the likes of Emma Raducanu, Jaqueline Cristian, and Rebecca Sramkova convincingly. The fifth seed will be eager to record a deep showing on the famed terre battue, if not go all the way, or else she is in danger of leaving the WTA top 5 rankings for the first time since 2022.
Rybakina, meanwhile, had endured a turbulent season due to off-court troubles until this month, which saw the Kazakh pick up her 11th career title in Strasbourg. The World No. 11 has carried her rich vein of form into this year's French Open. After weathering a three-setter against Argentina's Julia Riera in the first round, she dominated 21st-seeded Jelena Ostapenko and American teen Iva Jovic to reach the Round of 16 at the tournament for the third time in her career.
Iga Swiatek vs Elena Rybakina head-to-head
Swiatek and Rybakina are tied 4-4 in their head-to-head meetings on the WTA Tour. More interestingly, the Kazakh leads the Pole 2-0 on clay, having overcome her at the 2023 Italian Open and the 2024 Stuttgart Open in three sets, respectively.

Iga Swiatek vs Elena Rybakina prediction
Swiatek has been hitting her forehand with confidence once again, undermining her opponents with her aggression and keeping them at bay with her defense. The Pole's serve has also worked well enough. She won 75% of her first-serve points during her 6-2, 7-5 victory against Cristian on Friday.
Rybakina, meanwhile, is also capable of hitting some bombs on her first serve at 6'0. The 12th seed likes following up on her missile trajectories with her flat forehand, which is a wing off of which she can hit winners at a whim. That said, she has suffered from low margin and inconsistency against top players when it comes to baseline play.
Although the former World No. 3 has regained some of the past form that saw her win Wimbledon, the prospect of beating four-time French Open champion Swiatek on her hallowed grounds is an implausible prospect for her at the moment.
Pick: Swiatek to win in straight sets.
