The Queen of Clay's reign ends - but Swiatek 'will be back'
French Open 2025Dates: 25 May-8 June Venue: Roland GarrosCoverage: Live radio commentaries across 5 Live Sport and BBC Sounds, plus live text commentaries on the BBC Sport website and app Losing at the French Open is not something Iga Swiatek is accustomed won four of the past five titles at Roland Garros, the 24-year-old has become known as the 'Queen of Clay' - but her reign always felt under threat coming into this year's current frailties were exposed by world number one Aryna Sabalenka in a blockbuster semi-final on serve was obliterated by Belarus' Sabalenka, who converted eight break points to end Swiatek's 26-match winning streak on the Paris clay."Iga will be back and she will be better," said former world number nine Andrea Petkovic, who analysed the match for BBC Radio 5 Live."I did think this year's tournament was a huge step forward for her in terms of form." Not a 'bad' tournament but Swiatek falls short In the eyes of many seasoned observers, Swiatek was the third favourite for the title behind Sabalenka and American second seed Gauff, who beat French wildcard Lois Boisson in Thursday's second has been nowhere near her dominant best over the past year, failing to reach a final since last year's French Open triumph and slipping to her lowest ranking since March a chastening defeat in the Italian Open third round, Swiatek's return to Paris offered positivity."I think I already changed my mindset before this tournament," said Swiatek shortly after her first French Open defeat since 2021."Losing early in Rome gave me some time and perspective."The former long-time world number one looked more like her old self as she rolled through her opening three matches without dropping a a tougher test arrived against Elena Rybakina in the last 16, Swiatek fought back from losing the opening set 6-1 and answered more of the lingering questions around her showed similar resilience in the opening set against Sabalenka, recovering from 4-1 down to force the set back on her return position helped Swiatek fight back from a poor start, where she was overwhelmed by Sabalenka's power, and take the match into a the fifth seed did not have the capability - or perhaps belief - to sustain her level and rolled over in a 22-minute third though, Swiatek felt she had positives to take from the past fortnight."I played some quality matches," said Swiatek, who has still won 32 of her 42 matches this season."Now it's probably not the best time to look at the wider perspective. "Probably it wasn't a bad tournament, but obviously not the result I wanted." Why has Swiatek's form dipped? There are a mixture of reasons - on and off the court - as to why Swiatek's level has in the Olympics semi-finals in Paris last summer was a bitter blow, with Swiatek saying she cried for "six hours" later came a bigger bombshell - Swiatek had failed a doping was announced in November she had tested positive for heart medication trimetazidine (TMZ) in an out-of-competition sample. She was subsequently given a one-month ban after the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) accepted the result was caused by decided to switch coach at the end of last year, replacing Tomas Wiktorowski with Wim Fissette, and it is taking time for the changes she is making to bed destructive forehand - her most effective tool on the clay - has lost some of its reliability, while her service game has been picked apart by big-hitting opponents."Maybe she lost a little bit of a confidence, so that's why sometimes you see her missing balls that she shouldn't be missing," said Sabalenka."But overall, I think it was a really high-level match and she played really great tennis."Sabalenka's victory emphasised her position as the runaway leader on the WTA Tour and it is hard to see Swiatek challenging her on the Wimbledon grass next powerful game transfers well onto the faster surface, while Swiatek has never gone past the SW19 quarter-finals."We know Iga doesn't love that surface so I'm interested to see where she goes from here," added Petkovic."I think that is going to be very fascinating to watch."

Inside Glastonbury Festival's £28K luxury tents for A-listers
Glasto glamping costs range from hundreds of pounds to guarantee a place to pitch your own tent with hot showers, to tens of thousands of pounds for hot tubs, on-site chefs, helicopters, and even backstage hospitality passes. Glastonbury Festival might have originated from hippy roots, with the very first festival costing just £1 for a ticket, including a pint of milk. Now, after years of sell-out shows, it's the hottest festival ticket every year, and A-list celebrities and those squeamish of facing the dreaded long-drop loos often opt for fancy camping off-site. Glamping ranges from festival staples like Tangerine Fields, with pre-pitched tents, to Camp Kerala, which provides all meals, stunning views, private hotel rooms, and private parties for the rich and famous, thought to cost upwards of £8,225. In 2025, various campsites, including South Park 2 and Oxylers, were reduced in size to accommodate the 210,000+ fans, staff, artists, and crew roaming Worthy Farm for five days of revelry. Meanwhile, former camper van site E24 has been replaced with the Festivue boujie camping option, so space could be at a premium, especially for those arriving later on Thursday or Friday. The festival has had challenges with crowds in recent years, including closing down Sugababes' West Holts set in 2024 due to overcrowding, closing access to Kasabian's Woodsie's secret set, and shutting down Bicep's performance after 20 minutes due to concerns of crushing of fans at the front. Meanwhile, some Glastonbury revellers were left thousands of pounds out of pocket when high-end camping company Yurtel went into administration in May 2025. Their prices ranged from £10,000 for a bell tent to £16,500 for a presidential suite. Glastonbury Festival told the BBC it was "disappointing" for fans who had paid for places with the company, but made it clear that Glastonbury Festival has "no involvement with the operation of Yurtel". In fact, the festival has a page dedicated to advice around off-site camping options, and allows revellers to check in with the festival before booking, to see if they're officially affiliated. With the 2025 Glastonbury Festival merely weeks away, and now with the full line-up and official Vodafone app launched, here's an inside look at the more affordable glamping options, all the way up to the opulent off-site paradise plots for influencers and the rich and famous. This year will see headliners including The 1975, Olivia Rodrigo, and Neil Young and the Chrome Hearts. Meanwhile, Rod Stewart takes on the Sunday Legend slot, and Charli XCX, The Prodigy, and Loyle Carner headline The Other Stage. Meanwhile, tickets came in at a hefty £378.50 each, so with glamping on top, costs can easily mount up. Holt Farm Holt Farm prices range from more affordable pitching spots to top-end boutique bell tents for £2,500. The site boasts that the glamping spot is the closest to the main festival site, or "skipping distance to Pedestrian Gate D," allowing you to walk to the main stage within 15 minutes. The company has the same payment system as Yurtel, which liquidated recently. However, they have assured customers on social media that they're a separate entity and just shared a payment platform.

These range from bell tents with beds inside, but nothing else. Then, at the upper end, you can get a 5m bell tent with a sprung bed mattress and bedding all included. However, the cheaper prices likely reflect that this camping site is further away. Prices: £400 - £1,090 Location: Seemingly one of the further glamping options available.
