It would be the best women’s singles matchup in the round of 16.

Iga Swiatek didn’t drop a single set in her title defense at Roland Garros. The Polish ace is chasing a record-breaking four consecutive French Open title. This season, she struggled to win titles but reached the round of 16 in her each competition. The four-time Roland Garros champion is on a 24-match winning streak on the Persian clay.

The former world No. 1 beat Cristian, Raducanu and Sramková in straight sets en route to fourth round. She hasn’t played a singles’ final since 2024 Roland Garros.

Elena Rybakina is coming off a stunning victory over former champion Ostapenko which is a statement for Swiatek, who failed to beat the 25-year-old on clay in two meetings. Rybakina is on a 7-match winning streak on French clay. She recently won the Strasbourg title which remains her only title this year.

One-time major champion has made into the quarterfinals two times in the French Open but failed to cross the line. With an 11-1 clay record this year, Rybakina could be a player who can stop Swiatek’s unbeaten French Open run from last three years.
