Swiatek heavy favourite for second French Open title

-

Riding a 28-match unbeaten run into Roland Garros and a winner of her past five tournament­s, Iga Swiatek is the undeniable favourite for a second French Open title in three years.

Since the shock retirement of world No 1 Ashleigh Barty, the 20-year-old Swiatek has swept aside all-comers and transforme­d herself into the player to beat in women’s tennis.

The Pole hasn’t lost since falling to another former Roland Garros champion, Jelena Ostapenko, in Dubai in February. Her winning streak is the longest on the WTA tour since Serena Williams won 34 matches in a row in 2013.
