Iga Świątek is not back, because the tennis she wants to play never left her

Iga Świątek, the six-time Grand Slam champion and four-time French Open winner, has advanced to the fourth round of Roland Garros 2025, where she will face No. 15 seed Marta Kostyuk, against whom she holds a 3-0 record. Świątek has been working with new coach Francisco Roig for two months and credits improved decision-making for her return to form on the clay. Her path through the draw also eased after No. 2 seed Elena Rybakina was upset in the second round by Yulia Starodubtseva.
