The season has not seen title success for Swiatek, but there have been consistent results for the Pole, which is evident from three quarterfinal and four semifinal appearances in the year. Her last Grand Slam outing saw her reach the semifinal at the Australian Open, losing against Madison Keys in one of the great matches of the year.
The Pole's clay season has followed a similar pattern as far as results are concerned, as she lost in the quarterfinal in Stuttgart (lost to Jelena Ostapenko), lost in the semifinal in Madrid (lost in Coco Gauff), and lost in the third round in Rome, losing 1-6, 5-7 against Danielle Collins.
Swiatek has begun the French Open on a positive note, winning 6-3, 6-3 against Rebecca Sramkova in the first round. She then faced Emma Raducanu in a high-profile clash, winning the match 6-1, 6-2, showing signs of her former vintage self at Roland Garros.
Jaqueline Cristian, on the other hand, has had an average season in 2025, starting with a decent third-round run at the Australian Open, losing 6-4, 3-6, 3-6 against Eva Lys. She also reached the third round in Indian Wells, losing 4-6, 6-3, 4-6 against Jasmine Paolini.
Cristian started the clay season with early round exits in Rouen and Madrid. She reached the third round in Rome, losing 3-6, 3-6 against Diana Shnaider. However, her best moment of her entire season came at the Morocco Open in Rabat, where she reached the final, losing 3-6, 2-6 against Maya Joint.
At Roland Garros, Cristian started with a dominant 6-1, 6-0 win over Kimberly Birrell. In the second round, she faced off against Czech youngster Sara Bezlek, winning 1-6, 6-3, 6-3 to reach the third round.
