Defending champion Iga Swiatek of Poland vies for a place in the fourth round against Jaqueline Cristian of Romania at the 2025 French Open on Friday.
Swiatek has already authored two emphatic wins at this year’s French Open, blasting Rebecca Sramkova 6-3 6-3 and Emma Raducanu 6-1 6-2 to reach the third round. Swiatek, who arrived in Paris empty-handed after crashing out early in Stuttgart, Madrid, and Rome, looked sharp and comfortable with her swings against Raducanu for the first time in many weeks. She finished the match with 28 first-serve points and 4 breakpoints.
Cristian recovered from a lousy start to beat Sara Bejlek of the Czech Republic 1-6 6-3 6-3. Cristian, who had a resounding first-round win over Kimberly Birrell 6-1, 6-0, misfired too many times in the first set but managed to flip the script by playing disciplined tennis over the next two sets. The win catapulted Cristian to the third round of the French Open for the first time in her career.

Our Jaqueline Cristian vs Iga Swiatek Prediction
Why you should bet on Iga Swiatek to cover -7.5 games: I expect Swiatek to dominate Cristian from start to finish in their third-round clash. I am aware that Swiatek is not at the peak of her power right now, following the tumultuous buildup to the French Open. However, the 5-time Grand Slam champion is still way too good for Cristian at this stage. I don’t consider Cristian a significant threat to Swiatek, who seems to be regaining her confidence following two big wins over Raducanu and Sramkova.
