🔍 Match Breakdown

Cristian deserves credit for her rise, but Swiatek at Roland Garros is a beast like no other. The Pole has found rhythm, precision, and clarity—arguably in better form than during some of her title runs. Unless Cristian redlines from the start and keeps the scoreboard close early, this may spiral quickly.
Swiatek’s ability to reset points, return deep, and punish second serves makes her a nightmare matchup for anyone outside the top 10—let alone a rising underdog.

🔮 Prediction & Bet Tip

Prediction: Swiatek in straight sets.
Suggested Bet: Under 17.5 games – Swiatek likely wraps this up quickly if she maintains her current level.
