WTA Roland Garros: Aryna Sabalenka strong favourite
WTA Roland Garros: a first for Aryna Sabalenka?
What if 2025 was the right year for Aryna Sabalenka? The Belarussian arrives at Roland Garros 2025 with the status of world No. 1, but also as the great favorite.
Three-time Grand Slam winner Aryna Sabalenka, who recently triumphed in Madrid, could impose her power on her opponents. Always a consistent performer at the highest level, Aryna Sabalenka will be our favorite to claim her first Porte d'Auteuil trophy.
Our WTA Roland Garros prediction: Aryna Sabalenka wins.
Never bury Iga Swiatek, 4-time Roland Garros winner
Following her premature defeats in Madrid and Rome, Iga Swiatek lost her position as runner-up to Aryna Sabalenka in the WTA rankings. Having lost momentum since the start of the year and performing less well, the Polish player will find her draw busier than in previous years due to her position as world No. 5.
Nevertheless, it would be a big mistake to underestimate the four-time Roland Garros winner for this 2025 edition, as she feels right at home in Paris. Long the best clay-court player on the circuit, Iga Swiatek could return to her best in the French capital.
Jasmine Paolini for a first Grand Slam title
A year ago, Jasmine Paolini revealed herself to the general public by reaching the final of Roland Garros. Since then, the Italian tenniswoman has established herself as one of the best players on the planet, including a Wimbledon final.
An important fact to bear in mind is that the world's 4th-ranked player arrives in Paris in top form, having won the Rome Masters 1000, her most recent career triumph. In the form of her life, Jasmine Paolini is one of the favourites for this 2025 edition of Roland Garros.
WTA Roland Garros: the outsiders at Porte d'Auteuil
Behind these 3 Parisian favorites, other tenniswomen will also be contenders for victory at this Roland Garros, starting with Coco Gauff. The American, a finalist in Madrid and Rome, has already come close to the 2022 Paris title (final), and on the strength of her performances in the Masters 1000, the world No. 2 is a real outsider at Porte d'Auteuil.
Another contender for final victory at Roland Garros is Mirra Andreeva. The Russian broke into the world's top 10 this season following her Indian Wells victory. Last year's semi-finalist at Porte d'Auteuil, Mirra Andreeva has turned a corner in her career and at just 18 years of age, the Russian is one of the big outsiders for this 2025 edition.
