We analyze everything that this meeting can give, the best possible prelude to Roland Garros 2024.
– Iga Swiatek, the power of apparent unbeatability
The Pole is offering impeccable performances on this tour on clay, emerging stronger from her defeat in Stuttgart and excelling in tennis in Madrid, before establishing herself as an authoritarian empress in Rome. She will have to maintain that level of play if she wants to consolidate her victory and once again stop her great enemy. She reaches the final without having given up a single set and having let a maximum of five games escape in a set, against Kerber. Her solid victory against Gauff gives her the confidence necessary to face this major challenge.
– Aryna Sabalenka, the incombustible engine of revenge
The Belarusian continues transmitting amazing sensations of power with that indomitable game capable of overwhelming anyone… Except Swiatek. Aryna is fully aware that she needs to equalize the head-to-head with the Pole if she wants to continually compete for the big titles and be the best player in the world. She suffered the unspeakable against Svitolina, against whom she had to lift a match point, but she came out stronger from it and in the last matches she is an immeasurable tennis player. She will need that version of herself to have a chance against Iga.
– Tactical keys and face to face between Iga Swiatek and Aryna Sabalenka

Will need don’t lose too much track and make sure that Sabalenka hits on the move and cannot stand from the bottom and dominate.
The management of the short points by both players will be decisive; the serve and the rest They can mark the future of a match in which a high percentage of first serves and the clairvoyance to be aggressive from the rest will be fundamental for both. Aryna must take risks as she can dominate, execute parallel shots and be indomitable in the inexorable search for the winning shot, while Swiatek cannot speculate and will have to impose a very high intensity with her legs.
Considering the history they already have against each other, they have faced each other on 10 occasions, with a balance of 7-3 in favor of the Pole. The last two duels fell on the side of Every Swiatek and in Rome they already met two years ago, in the semifinals, with a clear victory for the Pole.
