It won't be a straightforward victory for Sabalenka considering the potential of Danilovic.
World no. 1 Aryna Sabalenka will be in action for the third-round matchup against Serbia’s Olga Danilovic in the 2025 Roland Garros. The Belarusian ace comfortably beat Czech star Jil Teichmann in second round, while Olga Danilovic knocked out former world No. 7, Danielle Collins in a three-set thriller in Round 2.
Aryna Sabalenka is a top contender to win the French Open this year after a remarkable season. The three-time major champion has a composed 36-6 win-loss record this year, including 13-2 on clay. Sabalenka has won three titles in 2025, beating Polina Kudermetova in Brisbane, Jessica Pegula in Miami and Coco Gauff in Madrid.
After a straight-set win over Teichmann, the Belarusian ace marked her sixth consecutive appearance at Roland Garros. She failed to cross the quarterfinal round in past two years but this time Sabalenka came here for the ultimate glory. She has played 13 finals since 2024 and won 7 titles. This year, she was also the runner-up in Indian Wells and Stuttgart.

Olga Danilovic will play her first-ever matchup against the world No.1 player. She eliminated Danielle Collins in the second-round and reached third round for straight year. The 24-year-old has conceded 1 set in the tournament to win 53% of the points she played. She won titles in Guangzhou, W100 Barcelona, and 125K Antalya this year, including a final in Rouen.
Aryna Sabalenka and Olga Danilovic will be facing each other for the second time. In previous only meeting, the world No. 1 overcame the Serbian ace in straight sets in the 2018 Madrid Open qualifiers.

It won’t be a straightforward victory for Sabalenka considering the potential of Danilovic. The Serbian ace has also won three titles and impressed at clay court. However, Sabalenka is on a different mission. She has been a standout performer this year across all surfaces. Both players previously met in the qualifiers of Masters tournament seven years ago and things have been changed. Sabalenka will walk away with another victory.
Prediction: Sabalenka to win in straight sets.
