Hey everyone, Faizan here! Here is my preview and prediction for the match between Iga Swiatek and Elina Svitolina at the 2025 French Open! This should be a great match for the Quarter Final at Roland Garros! This is an opinion only video!

A penas conocida en el circuito internacional, la joven tenista francesa se confirma como la gran revelación de esta edición tras meterse en los cuartos de final luego de apear a la número 3 mundial , la estadounidense Jessica Pegula. En Roland Garros poco a poco se va despejando el camino a la final mientras los cuadros individuales comienzan a contar con un numero reducido de supervivientes. Tras el último lunes de competición ya se conocen a las 8 raquetas, tanto en mujeres como en hombres, que lucharan por la conquista del gran título tenístico en la superficie de arcilla.  Boisson se confirma ante sus paisanosSi hay un nombre a destacar entre los clasificados para cuartos de final es el de Lois Boisson. Una tenista francesa que ocupa la posición 364 en el ranking mundial y que fue invitada por la organización del torneo para participar en el cuadro principal. La “dijonesa” no pudo estrenarse el año pasado en la catedral de la arcilla merced a una prematura y grave lesión que la mantuvo alejada de las canchas durante 9 meses. Un año mas tarde toma su revancha tras colarse en los cuartos de final luego de apear la numero 3 del mundo, la norteamericana Jessica Pegula (3/6 6/4 6/4)A sus 22 años, Boisson está siendo un auténtico descubrimiento para el público local y tras su desempeño representa una enorme esperanza para una nación que no saborea las mieles del éxito en la catedral de la arcilla desde hace 25 años cuando Mary Pierce se alzaba con la copa Suzanne -Lenglen al batir en la final a la española Conchita Martinez (6/2, 7/5).La próxima rival de Boisson será la rusa Mirra Andreeva quien se presentó como la más madrugadora en sacar su billete a cuartos tras apear a la australiana Daria Kasatkina en un partido que no tuvo mayores consecuencias (6/3 7/5)El capricho del sorteo y al gran estado de forma de las tenistas estadounidenses se reflejó igualmente en esta edición de Roland Garros que pase lo que pase contará con una semifinalista norteamericana. Fue la numero 2 del mundo, Coco Gauff, quien propuso el desafío tras vencer a la rusa Ekaterina Alexandrova en dos sets (6/0 7/5) teniendo en cuenta que lucharía con una compatriota en cuartos de final tras el duelo fratricida en el que Madison Keys salió victoriosa ante Hailey Baptiste (6/3 7/5).En el cuadro masculino también se generó una gran sorpresa luego de que el kazajo Alexander Bublik dejase fuera al cabeza de serie numero 5, el emergente Jack Draper. El británico que no acertó con su servicio se mostró impotente en casi la totalidad de su duelo ante un irregular Bublik que esta vez realizó uno de los mejores encuentros de su vida (5/7 6/3 6/2 6/4). Capaz de lo mejor y lo peor habrá que contar con su enorme estado de gracia y su potente saque (220 km/h) teniendo en cuenta que en la segunda ronda apeaba a otro gran tenista como es el australiano Alex de Minaur.Por otro lado, el tenista mas laureado de la historia, el serbio Novak Djokovic, no dejó concesiones ante el británico Cameron Norrie (6/2 6/3 6/2). Quizás con la intención de guardar el máximo de energías ante su próximo duelo donde le esperará el vigente subcampeón del torneo, el alemán Alexander Zverev que aprovechaba el abandono del el neerlandés Tallon Griekspoor, cuando el marcador mostraba un resultado de 6/4 3/0 a favor del tenista germano. Arrancan los cuartos de finalLas cosas se ponen serias en Roland garros con las primeras disputas de cuartos de final. Para este martes habrá dos encuentros de damas y dos de hombres. En cuanto a las féminas la numero 1 mundial, la rusa Aryna Sabalenka, se enfrentará a la china (N°8) Qinwen Zheng al tiempo que la ucraniana Elina Svitolina se mide a la vigente campeona del torneo, la polaca Iga Swiatek.En hombres el italiano Lorenzo Musetti tendrá como rival al norteamericano Frances Tiafoe mientras que la jornada la cerrará un apasionante duelo entre otro norteamericano, Tommy Paul, y el defensor del título, el español Carlos Alcaraz.

Part one - It was a quite extraordinary day of action in the women's draw. We discuss how Iga Swiatek overcame a 6-0 2-1 deficit to defeat Elena Rybakina, the way Elina Svitolina has completely transformed herself as a tennis player, the importance Zheng Qinwen places on Roland Garros, and how Aryna Sabalenka showed how she's developed as a player to defeat Amanda Anisimova in straight sets. Part two (39m56s) - Carlos Alcaraz's victory over Ben Shelton took centre stage for the men on Sunday. David commentated on two sets of it and we assess Alcaraz's level, discuss the fun moments which punctuated the contest, and wonder whether Tommy Paul will pose a threat to Alcaraz in the next round. Part three (49m42s) - We cover Lorenzo Musetti's victory in the night session over Holger Rune and look ahead to Day 9.Buy tickets for Tennis Podcast Live in London on Thursday 26th June at Shoreditch Town Hall.

Week 2 at Roland Garros is here, and Tennis Weekly has everything you need to get caught up ahead of the action in Paris. On the men's side, Jack Draper dismantled rising star João Fonseca to join fellow Brit Cam Norrie against a backdrop of PSG football fireworks in the last 16, while Djokovic, Sinner, and Zverev cruise through — and Carlos Alcaraz survived another mid match hiccup to win through.In the women's draw, Elena Rybakina routed Jelena Ostapenko to set up a mouthwatering showdown with Iga Swiatek, and for the first time in decades, all top 8 seeds remain in contention heading into Week 2. It was also a historic occasion for Team USA as they had 8 players into Round 4 of Roland Garros for the first time in forty years. Plus, Chris returns from Paris, with plenty of stories from the clay to share including Amalie Mauresmo's comments on the continued absence of women from the night session.PROPERTY HUB INVESTIf you're serious about property, head to https://propertyhub.net/start to take your first step.SOCIALSFollow us on Twitter, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, plus email the show tennisweeklypod@gmail.com.MERCHPurchase Tennis Weekly Merch through our Etsy store including limited edition designs by Krippa Design where all proceeds go towards the podcast so we can keep doing what we do!REVIEWS***Please take a moment to rate and review the show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your pods.

Elsewhere, our pod correspondent for the day, Pam Shriver, updates us on wins for Aryna Sabalenka and Zheng Qinwen, while Matt discusses Amanda Anisimova's victory over Clara Tauson. Finally, we hear Amelie Mauresmo's latest press conference about night scheduling, and Pam delivers a moving and powerful response.

The gang's all here! Joel, Kim and Chris return to serve up all the drama from Round 2 of Roland-Garros 2025 — and what a rollercoaster it's been! It was heartbreak for the British women as all three bowed out, but there's still hope on the men's side with a surprise all-Brit clash now set between Fearnley and Norrie. Meanwhile, Jack Draper lit up the Parisian night in a sizzling showdown with crowd-favourite Gael Monfils — and did his best to dodge a 5th set thriller!Emotions ran high as French maestro Richard Gasquet bid adieu to the sport on Court Philippe-Chatrier, falling to World No. 1 Jannik Sinner. We look back at his fabulous career (and that oh-so-silky one-handed backhand!). Elsewhere, big names like Djokovic and Alcaraz powered on, while seeds Tsitsipas, Ruud, de Minaur, and Mensik suffered surprise exits. While British women are out — with Raducanu falling to queen of clay Iga Swiatek — the American charge is alive and swinging, with Gauff, Keys, and Kenin all cruising through (rackets in hand this time!).

Sí pasaron a octavos los favoritos que jugaron el viernes, Carlos Alcaraz, Aryna Sabalenka y la triple defensora del título, Iga Swiatek. La armada latinoamericana se queda sin barcos en Roland Garros, al menos en lo que a los cuadros individuales se refiere. La última raqueta sobre la arcilla parisina, el argentino Mariano Navone, decía adiós a la posibilidad de clasificar para octavos este viernes tras caer frente a Lorenzo Musetti, octavo cabeza de serie en París.La 'Navoneta' se llevó el primer set, pero tras llegar a tener ventaja en el segundo, no supo materializarla y cedió los tres siguientes (4/6 6/4 6/3 6/2). El nuevejuliense logra, no obstante, con esta tercera ronda su mejor registro en un torneo de Grand Slam. Sí está en octavos de final el defensor del título, Carlos Alcaraz. El español se deshizo del bosnio Damir Dzumhur en el partido que cerraba el día, aunque se le complicó el choque y acabó ganando por cuatro sets a uno (6/1 6/3 4/6 6/4).Además, el danés Holger Rune se sobrepuso a la presión de la afición local y a un correoso rival, el francés Quentin Halys, en cinco mangas para conseguir igualmente su pase. Las favoritas no perdonan en el cuadro femeninoEn el cuadro femenino, triunfo sin paliativos para la número 1 mundial, Aryna Sabalenka, 2-0 ante Olga Danilovic (6/2 6/3). La mejor jugadora del mundo tendrá frente así en octavos a la estadounidense Amanda Anisimova. Por su parte, la triple defensora del título, la polaca Iga Swiatek, logró el pase también por dos parciales a cero frente a Jaqueline Cristian, aunque la rumana sí le planteó alguna dificultad en el último set (6/2 7/5).Tampoco cedió ninguna manga la china Qinwen Zheng, que apeó a la canadiense Victoria Mboko (6/3 6/4). La asiática tendrá como rival en la siguiente rueda a Liudmila Samsonova.Djokovic, Sinner y Gauff, este sábadoEn cuanto a los partidos más destacados de este sábado, saltarán a las pistas de la capital francesa por su plaza en octavos Novak Dojokovic, que lo hará ante Filip Misolic y el número uno de la ATP, el italiano Jannik Sinner, cuyo rival es el checo Jiri Lehecka.En el cuadro femenino, la número dos del ránking mundial, la estadounidense Coco Gauff, tendrá en frente a otra checa, Marie Bouzková.

Jack won his first match at Roland-Garos and made it clear he has goals much bigger than round 2 at the clay court slam. He will have to tackle home favourite Gael Monfils playing his second Night match in a row.Novak Djokovic was also in action and there was some serious debate on court about whether to close the roof or not to which he and the crowd said PLEASE close it!

Poland's four-time champion Iga Swiatek crushed British star Emma Raducanu to advance to the third round at the French Open, stretching her winning run in Paris to 23 consecutive matches.

Los grandes favoritos en liza este miércoles en Roland Garros, Carlos Alcaraz, Iga Swiatek y Aryna Sabalenka, lograron su clasificación a la tercera rueda. Entre los latinoamericanos, solo uno logró el pase, el argentino Mariano Navone. Quedaron fuera Daniel Elahi Galán, Juan Manuel Cerúndolo, Alejandro Tabilio y Emiliana Arango. Los grandes favoritos cumplieron este miércoles en Roland Garros, algo de lo que no pudo presumir la mayoría de la armada latinoamericana en la capital francesa, que tras un martes que dejó varias bajas, siguió perdiendo barcos este miércoles.Tan solo cosechó una única victoria en los cuadros individuales, la firmada por el argentino Mario Navone, que alcanza por primera vez en su carrera la tercera ronda en un torneo de Grand Slam.Navone se impuso ante el estadounidense Riley Opelka en un partido que se vio interrumpido por la lluvia en un momento tenso, con un set arriba para la 'Navoneta' y empate a cinco juegos en el segundo parcial. En la reanudación, el nuevejuliense mostró su mejor tenis, llevándose el tie-break y rematando el partido por un sólido 3-0 (6/1 7/6 6/3).Navone se medirá en la siguiente ronda al italiano Lorenzo Musetti, octavo favorito de la cita parisina, que dejó fuera a Daniel Elahi Galán. El colombiano apenas pudo mostrar su mejor tenis y perdió en tres sets (6/4 6/0 6/4).Tampoco corrieron mejor suerte el argentino Juan Manuel Cerúndolo, que perdió contra el serbio Hamad Medjedovic por 3-0 pese a plantar cara en cada set (6/3 6/4 7/5), y el chileno Alejandro Tabilio, quien tampoco pudo hacerse con ningún parcial ante el australiano Alexei Popyrin (7/5 6/3 6/4).Alcaraz sigue firme, Ruud dice adiós prematuramenteEl defensor del título, Carlos Alcaraz, cedió un set en su partido de segunda ronda, aunque mostró contundencia cuando fue necesario para terminar llevándose el encuentro contra el húngaro Fabián Marozsán (6/1 4/6 6/1 6/2). El tenista español de hecho restó importancia tras el partido al set perdido, destacando especialmente sus buenas sensaciones al principio del duelo.La decepción entre los primeros clasificados la vivió el noruego Casper Ruud, octava raqueta del mundo. El nórdico empezó fuerte, pero se resintió de unos problemas de rodilla y, pese a que aguantó todo el partido, terminó derrotado frente al portugués Nuno Borges por 3-1 (2/6 6/4 6/1 6/0).Arango se va con la cabeza altaLa colombiana Emiliana Arango debutaba en París en un torneo de Grand Slam y puso fin a su aventura en segunda ronda, perdiendo ante la china Qinwen Zheng, octava cabeza de serie de la competencia.La de Medellín cedió el triunfo en dos mangas (6/2 6/3) y tuvo sus más y sus menos con el marcado de línea de los árbitros ante la ausencia de la tecnología de Ojo de Halcón y las constantes quejas de su rival, especialmente por la llovizna que hizo acto de presencia durante el partido.Las favoritas sí estarán en la tercera rueda. Iga Swiatek, ganadora de las tres últimas ediciones, clasificó ante Emma Raducanu (6/1 6/2) y la número 1, Aryna Sabalenka, lo hizo ante Jil Teichmann (6/3 6/1). 

On Day 2 at Roland Garros, Chris and Alina were courtside for Emma Raducanu winning return to Paris as she overcame sickness to beat Wang Xinyu in three sets. She also let it be known that she doesn't agree with the scheduling for practice sessions and would like to practice on bigger courts.

Roland Garros completaba su primera ronda con los cómodos estrenos de Coco Gauff, Victoria Azarenka, Alexander Zverev y Novak Djokovic que, con 38 años sueña con la conquista de su torneo de Grand Slam número 25, el cuarto en París. Eliminación temprana del ruso Medvedev a manos del británico Norrie.  El serbio Novak Djokovic, el último de los cuatro Mosqueteros -Nadal, Federer et Murray,-  tuvo un estreno cómodo este martes en el abierto de tennis francés. El medallista de oro en los pasados Juegos Olímpicos de París no tuvo complicaciones para pasar a segunda rueda tras vencer al estadounidense Mackenzie McDonald en tres mangas (6/3 6/3 6/3). El tres veces ganador del Roland Garros emprendía así su camino hacia el que podría ser su 25 Grand Slam.Se acabaron las presentaciones en Roland Garros. A esta hora se estrenaron todos los participantes tras el cierre de una primera ronda en la que apenas se generaron grandes sorpresas. Si hay alguna reseñable, esa sería la temprana eliminación del ruso Daniil Medvedev (Cabeza de serie N11), quien después de remontar dos sets caía en el quinto y definitivo ante el británico Cameron Norrie (5/7 3/6 6/4 6/1 5/7).Otro que no falló entre los favoritos fue el vigente subcampeón del torneo, el alemán Alexander Zverev, que en poco menos de 2 horas despachó a su primera víctima, el estadounidense Learner Tien en tres mangas fáciles (6/3 6/3 6/4). En el cuadro masculino cabe señalar igualmente el abandono del búlgaro Dimitrov que otorgaba el pase a segunda rueda del estadounidense Ethan Quinn y la clasificación del australiano Alex de Minaur que dejaba fuera al serbio Laslo Djere (6/3 6/4 7/6). Habrá que prestar especial atención al joven británico Jack Draper quien presentaba sus credenciales a realizar algo grande este año en la porte d'auteuil luego de firmar una magnifica temporada que le ha permitido entrar entre los 5 primeros del mundo. Pese a perder el primer set ante el italiano Mattia Belucci , el nacido en Sutton calmo la ansiedad generada por los nervios para poner la directa a la segunda rueda (6/3 1/6 4/6 2/6).Todo en orden para las favoritas del cuadro femenino En cuanto a las féminas se estrenaron por todo lo alto la rusa Victoria Azarenka que sin piedad endosaba un doble 6-0 a la belga Yanina Wickmayer, su compatriota Mirra Andreeva que lo tuvo más reñido para deshacerse de la española Cristina Bucsa (6/4 6/3) y como no, otra de las vedettes del circuito femenino, la numero 2 mundial, la estadounidense Coco Gauff, quien apenas se despeino ante la australiana Olivia Gadecki (6/2 6/2). La única noticia reseñable fue la temprana eliminación de la brasileña Beatriz Haddad Maia que tras alcanzar las semifinales hace dos años volvía a caer a las primeras de cambio. Esta vez ante la estadounidense Halley Baptiste (6/4 3/6 1/6)Federico Gómez salva el honor de los argentinos El primer martes de competición fue un día esperanzador para la representación latinoamericana tras la debacle en la víspera donde caerían la mayoría de los participantes. En cierta medida fue gracias al arranque del argentino Federico Gómez, que tras ser eliminado en la fase clasificatoria fue rescatado por la organización para entrar en el cuadro principal. Gómez no desaprovecho la oportunidad firmando su primera victoria en un Grand Slam frente al estadounidense Aleksandar Kovacevic tras ganar en 4 mangas (6/4 4/6 4/6 1/6). Una buena noticia a la que no pudieron dar continuidad sus compatriotas Solana Sierra y Maria Lourdes Carle.Sierra fue muy combativa ante la talentosa kazaja Yulia Putintseva y llegó a disputar un tie-break en el primer set (6/7 2/6) mientras que Carle poco pudo hacer ante la estadounidense Ann Li quien domino de principio a fin este duelo de primera ronda (6/4 6/0)Comienza la segunda ruedaEste miércoles arranca oficialmente la segunda ronda con la presencia de grandes colosos como el defensor del título, el español Carlos Alcaraz. el noruego Casper Ruud, el griego Tsitsipas, el danés Rune o e italiano Musetti quien se mide precisamente a uno de los representantes latinos, el colombiano Daniel Elahi Galan.En damas vuelve a la cancha de arcilla la también vigente campeona del torneo, la polaca Iga Swiatek , la numero 1 mundial la bielorrusa Aryna Sabalenka , la italiana Jasmine Paolini o la kazaja Elena Rybakina.En cuanto a los latinoamericanos, a parte del mencionado Galán lucharan por alcanzar una tercera ronda los argentinos Mariano Navone y Juan Manuel Cerundulo , el chileno Alejandro Tabilo mientras que en chicas tendremos la sola presencia de la colombiana Emiliana Arango.

Die French Open sind gestartet, da darf Cross Court nicht fehlen. Moderator Dennis Heinemann bespricht mit SPORT1 Tennis-Experte Stefan Schnürle kurz vor dessen Abreise nach Paris die ersten Roland-Garros-Tage und die emotionalen Bilder vom Abschied von Rafael Nadal. Beim Blick auf den Sportlichen fällt schnell der Fokus auf Carlos Alcaraz und es wird der Frage nachgegangen, ob dieser der Angstgegner von Jannik Sinner sei. Stefan versucht aufzuzeigen, warum Alcaraz gegen die Nummer 1 anders agiert, ehe Sinner selbst in den Mittelpunkt rückt. Mit Spannung wird erwartet, was Alexander Zverev in Paris leisten kann. Sein Draw ist knifflig, doch in Runde 1 öffnet sich eine unerwartete Tür. SPORT1-Redakteurin Sophie Affeldt konnte zudem mit Mischa Zverev über seinen Bruder sprechen und erfährt dessen Gedanken zum Thema Supercoach. Nach dessen deutlicher Kritik, was die Qualität der Tennisbälle betrifft, wird sich Novak Djokovic gewidmet. Wie ist dessen Turniersieg in Genf einzuordnen, muss er auch in Paris zu den Favoriten zählen? In einem Powerranking von Stefan und Dennis taucht er zumindest gar nicht auf. Nach einer Würdigung der grandiosen Leistung von Daniel Altmaier und der Forderung von Mischa Zverev, was Tennis-Deutschland in Zukunft braucht, gibt es den Wechsel zu den Daumen. Dort findet Iga Swiatek einen schwierigen Draw vor sich, Es stellt sich die Frage, wer Coco Gauff in der anderen Hälfte überhaupt stoppen soll, ehe Dennis beim Powerranking Majestätsbeleidigung begeht. Zum Schluss rücken die deutschen Frauen in den Fokus und vor allem Eva Lys erhält lobende Worte. Geht für sie sogar noch mehr? Der Podcast wird vermarktet durch die Ad Alliance.
