She could also become the first to lift three successive women's titles in Paris since Justine Henin PARIS – Iga Swiatek admits she is the favourite and "confident" ahead of her bid to become only the fourth woman to win four Roland Garros singles titles in the Open era.
The only female player in history to complete a Madrid-Rome-Roland Garros treble in the same season is Serena Williams."I'm number one so I'm the favourite everywhere if you look at rankings," she told reporters after swatting aside second-ranked Aryna Sabalenka in the Rome Open final last weekend. "But rankings don't play, so... I'll do everything step by step and we'll see.
Swiatek is aiming to join Chris Evert, Steffi Graf and Henin in lifting the Coupe Suzanne-Lenglen four times in the Open era.The Belarusian missed three match points before losing to Swiatek in a thrilling Madrid final and will be hoping to get another crack at her rival after a one-sided loss in Rome.
Sabalenka has an 8-3 losing record against Swiatek, but insisted after Rome that she wanted to face her again in Paris. "Even though I lost these two finals, I mean, I never focus on the past," she said. "It's 50/50, you know? But I prefer to be underdog. I really hope I'm going to make it to the final and I really hope I'll be able to get that win, if it's Iga or not."
