Swiatek Stages Stunning Comeback to Stay on Track for Fourth Straight French Open Title
Iga Swiatek kept her French Open dominance alive with a gritty comeback win over Elena Rybakina, rallying from a dismal start to clinch a 1-6, 6-3, 7-5 victory in the fourth round on Sunday. The Polish star, seeking her fourth consecutive title at Roland-Garros, found herself overwhelmed early, losing eight of the first nine games and struggling to counter Rybakina’s power. But Swiatek dug deep, shifting the momentum in the second set and eventually sealing the match with a forehand winner that prompted an emotional celebration.
