2024 French Open: Iga Swiatek On Historic Run At Roland-Garros

Swiatek's record at the Grand Slam puts her in rare company

Remember that insane run of dominance that Rafa Nadal had on clay? 

Well, Swiatek’s game is just as elite on the women’s side. She’s going for her fourth French Open singles title (won in 2020, 2022, 2023) as a 22 year old (she’s actually turning 23 during the tournament) and is shooting for her fifth Grand Slam win (22nd singles title). 

Her skill set is most suitable for this surface and she’s expected to make history.

The fact that -134 at BetRivers is the best pre-tournament price on her to win the French Open speaks volumes.

If she wins, she’d become the first woman to win three straight Roland-Garros titles since Justine Henin in 2007 and the third player in the Open Era to accomplish that (including Monica Seles: 1990-1992). 

Boasting a ridiculous 77-10 career record on clay, Swiatek is 38-4 on the season and has won 14 straight matches at this event, dropping just two of 29 sets played in that span. She’s also recorded an insane 11 different 6-0 bagel sets here, which conveys how dominant she’s been.

After going undefeated through Madrid and Rome leading into this tournament, she’s on a 12-match winning streak and has gone 28-2 lifetime at this event with her only defeats coming to Simona Halep and Maria Sakkari. Only Seles (29-1) and Chris Evert (29-1) had better records in their first 30 matches at the French Open, thus putting her in the company of all-time greats.

In other words, what we’re seeing is historic and rare. While the price isn’t exactly incredible, I can’t see logically targeting any other player at this event if Swiatek is healthy, just like Nadal in the Men’s Draw during his years of dominance.
