Iga Swiatek’s reign at Roland Garros has come to an end after Aryna Sabalenka defeated her in the semifinal, halting her remarkable 26-match winning streak at the tournament. The Polish star, widely regarded as one of the greatest clay-court players of all time, had dominated the event for years, securing four titles, including three consecutive championships.
At just 24 years old, Swiatek has already built an extraordinary legacy on the Parisian clay, showcasing a level of dominance rarely seen in the modern era. Her ability to control rallies, dictate play, and dismantle opponents with precision has made her the undisputed queen of Roland Garros.
Sabalenka, the world number one, delivered a commanding performance to secure a 7-6 (7/1), 4-6, 6-0 victory, preventing Swiatek from achieving a historic fourth consecutive title. The Belarusian’s aggressive baseline game and powerful shot-making proved too much in the deciding set, where she completely shut out Swiatek.
While her streak has ended, Swiatek’s impact on the tournament remains undeniable. She has set a standard for clay-court excellence that will be remembered for years to come. As she looks ahead to future challenges, there is little doubt that she will continue to be a force in the sport. Her journey at Roland Garros may have reached a turning point, but her story is far from over.
