Serena Williams' Ex-Coach Says Iga Swiatek Shouldn't Be Worried About Low French Open Seeding: Here's Why
- The 2025 French Open women's tournament begins this weekend in Paris with Iga Swiatek seeded fifth as the defending champion.
- Swiatek's recent slump follows a doping suspension last August and a year without a tour-level title despite her previous dominance at Roland Garros.
- Her main rivals include world number one Aryna Sabalenka, second seed Coco Gauff, and fourth seed Jasmine Paolini, who recently won the Italian Open.
- Former coach Rick Macci said Swiatek’s low seeding will not harm her chances, and a two-time Grand Slam champion noted the importance of early matches to regain confidence.
- Experts agree that Swiatek’s tournament performance will depend on recovering form early, while her rivals see an opportunity if she cannot regain top confidence.
