Swiatek was tested during her semifinal run, but she came out as a champion player. Her fourth-round victory over Rybakina was something special. Iga was trailing 2-0 in the second set after dropping the first set 6-1, but she pulled off a comeback to snatch a crucial win. Despite a dominant record in the French Open, Swiatek’s current form in the semifinals is poor, losing the previous six matches. She has a 1-2 record against the world No. 1s and the only victory came against Sabalenka in the 2023 WTA Finals.

Aryna Sabalenka vs. Iga Swiatek French Open 2025 Prediction

It’s going to be a toughest game of the season for Aryna Sabalenka. Breaking the fortress of Swiatek on Persian clay isn’t easy. However, the ongoing form will be a concern for the Polish ace as she is on a 6-match losing streak in semifinals and hasn’t won a title since June 2024. Sabalenka would likely have the edge on any other surface, but Swiatek owns clay court. It’s like competing Nadal in the Roland Garros. The match should go in the final set, and it would be a blockbuster clash of the season.

Prediction: Iga Swiatek to win in three sets.
