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."

Gen Z aim to deny history-chasing Djokovic

French Open 2025 men's singles semi-finalsDate: Friday, 6 June Time: 13:30 BST Venue: Roland GarrosCoverage: Live radio commentaries across 5 Live Sport and BBC Sounds, plus live text commentaries on the BBC Sport website and app The era of the 'Big Three' may be coming to an end - but the threat has not born in the 1990s were restricted to just two Grand Slam singles titles between them as Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic diced up the major prizes for more than two players born after 2000 have captured seven major titles between is the current top two of Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz, who are on a collision course in Novak Djokovic still looms 38-year-old faces Sinner - who is 15 years younger than him - in Friday's first French Open semi-final, having become the oldest man to reach the last four since 1968."I think at the moment he's a bit underrated," world number three Alexander Zverev said after falling to Djokovic in four sets on Wednesday."I think a lot of people count him out already, but this year he's had wins over Carlos at the Australian Open, he has beaten me at the French Open. "Forget the age. For any player, those are pretty good results."Defending champion Alcaraz, meanwhile, will look to continue his recent dominance over Lorenzo Musetti in the second semi-final. Djokovic is bidding for another slice of history. Win in Paris and he will secure a record-breaking 25th major singles no man has defeated the top three men's players to win a major since the ATP rankings were is on a nine-match winning streak heading into the 51st major semi-final of his career. Victory in Geneva last month secured him the 100th tour-level title of his career - a timely confidence boost following a run of three successive run included consecutive opening-round defeats to begin his clay-court season, and the Olympic champion entered Roland Garros in the unusual position of sixth he showed age is not inhibiting him as he won a 41-shot rally to save a break point in the fourth set on his way to beating Zverev in three hours and 18 displayed impressive variety to disrupt the German's baseline dominance with drop shots and serve-and-volley tactics. Sinner, however, will pose a sterner test. While their head-to-head record stands at 4-4, the Italian has won their past three reigning US Open and Australian Open champion is on a 19-match winning streak at Grand Slam tournaments - the fourth longest this century after the Djokovic (30), Federer (27) and Nadal (25).He is chasing history of his own at Roland Garros, seeking to become the first Italian man to win the tournament since Adriano Panatta in his 52nd week as world number one - despite serving a three-month doping suspension between February and May - Sinner could become the first man to win three consecutive majors since Djokovic in unshakeable consistency and devastating precision, Sinner is yet to drop a set this fortnight before attempting to break down arguably the greatest defensive player the game has seen. Alcaraz looks to continue dominance over Musetti Alcaraz appears to have hit top gear at the perfect losing just five games in his straight-set quarter-final win over American Tommy Paul, the Spaniard said: "I could close my eyes and everything [would have gone] in."My feeling today was unbelievable. I was trying to hit every shot at 100% - not thinking about anything else, just hitting."The four-time major winner did not face a single break point in that match and will now target a sixth successive win over Musetti, having lost just one set in their previous five meetings. Musetti, whose sole victory over Alcaraz came in their first meeting back in 2022, has risen to sixth in the live rankings after moving to the brink of a first major Italian will hope to offer greater resistance in their latest meeting after working to improve his serve in the off-season."We shortened a bit the motion to have more control, and then I got more confidence in what I was having as a motion," Musetti said."Right now in really difficult situations, I make an ace or have my serve as a weapon, and it was a pretty big change for my game."
