Gauff Roland Garros Sabalenka Swiatek

Roland-Garros is approaching fast. Starting this Sunday, the first round of the main draw of the ATP and WTA tournaments will be on the schedule. For many tennis observers, it's time to make predictions, as the draw will take place this Thursday in the early afternoon.

On the beIN Sports set, in the show Salon VIP, Patrick Mouratoglou was asked about the favorites in the women's draw. According to him, even if she is struggling at the moment, Iga Swiatek must still be taken seriously.

"At Roland-Garros, Coco Gauff might have the edge, but there will certainly be Sabalenka, who is world number 1 and plays well on all surfaces. As for Swiatek, we have to put her in the group of favorites, even though she is currently light years away from her level last year and the year before.

She has some very bad losses, she seems lost on the court for the past few weeks. But in my opinion, she just needs to win a few matches to regain her confidence.

She's a player who has so many good memories at Roland-Garros, who has been so dominant in this tournament before that we can't not put her in the group," assured the French coach.
