French Open: Inspired By Rafa’s Presence, Swiatek Begins Defence With Gritty Win

By IANS News May 26, 2025 • 20:58 PM View: 234

Court Philippe Chatrier: The defending French Open champion Iga Swiatek kicked off her 2025 campaign with a hard-fought 6-3, 6-3 victory over Slovakia’s Rebecca Sramkova, extending her stunning unbeaten run at Roland Garros to 22 matches.

Rafael Nadal may not be swinging his racket this year at Roland Garros, but his presence at Court Philippe Chatrier continues to inspire greatness.

While the result may appear routine on paper, it came on the back of a period of uncharacteristic struggle for the Polish star — and in her own words, the mere sight of Nadal during Sunday’s tribute ceremony helped her rediscover some of that lost fire.
