🔍 Match Breakdown
This is the biggest match of the tournament so far, pitting the Queen of Clay against the player who’s arguably her toughest matchup. Rybakina's power and flat strokes take time away from Świątek, and she has proven she can break down the Pole’s defenses on this surface.
Still, this is Iga’s court. The slower conditions in Paris allow her to reset rallies and exploit angles with her looping forehand. She’s been more composed under pressure and is showing the kind of tactical maturity that wins Slams.
🔮 Prediction & Bet Tip
Prediction: Świątek in 3 sets
Suggested Bet: Over 21.5 Games – Rybakina has the tools to take a set, but Świątek’s Paris dominance should carry her in the end.
