Roland Garros 2025 Womens Semi Final - Sabalenka vs Swiatek

[Djokovic2011]

I don't know what happened to Swiatek in that 3rd set but I'm definitely not complaining lol.

Congrats to Aryna on reaching her 1st RG final. Go get that trophy on Saturday Tiger!

 

[Jonas78]

wtf happened in the last set

Iga forgot how to play tennis. Saba did nothing special.

 

[djokovic the conqueror]

Indoor tennis is the best tennis.

 

[Kralingen]

Iga played possibly the worst set of her career there, and Aryna one of her best. All the bad habits came roaring back… the dropped head, complete lack of belief on serve, rushing to be aggressive in fear of Sabalenka’s power. It was Ostapenko 2.0 for Iga.

And for Aryna, a remarkably composed finish, used every tool at her ample disposal.

What a moment. One of the most one sided deciding sets I can ever remember as a tennis fan

 

[ND-13]

All great players, all out of the tournament. So either enjoy who we've got or don't watch. But don't think Boisson is the darling cause she isn't.

We all watch because we endure . But that doesn’t mean we need to be silent

 

[Sudacafan]

Much prefer Pouille for the on court interviews

I haven’t seen a Pouille’s interview, but I agree.

 

[paolo2143]

If Sabalenka could keep her nerves under control the way she did in final set today she would have already 4-6 more slams and many more titles than she has. She has so many big weapons and can basically outpower over 90% of the ladies tour. However, as we saw at times in first 2 sets today she can be so mentally fragile under pressure sometimes.

 

[Carax]

Thanks for keeping the poll open. I just voted.

 

[Sudacafan]

"I'm not sure if I really want her to win"

*dead silence in the crowd*

Crowd felt so guilty.

 

[tennisjedi]

Iga's ranking is gonna fall to #7 now.

 

[DariaGT]

Much prefer Pouille for the on court interviews

Matts is just bland and creepy at the same time with hose tight pants
its just awkward the way he stumbles all crouched over around these days.

 

[Rosstour]

I was at the dentist watching the match. Left at like 4-2 Swiatek in the second. Walked in the door to my house and saw a bagel in the third, wtF just happened??

 

[Zetty]

Sabalenka can blow any woman off the court if she keeps her head right. The 2023 US Open and 2025 AO finals were two in particular that she fumbled. She's basically like prime Serena now the last few years, she has more power than anybody else by a significant margin and the fate of matches are completely on her racquet.

Most consistent big hitter. Ostapenko, Keys, etc hit just as hard but all the work they put into her biomechanics has paid off so much the last couple years

Dad joke

I’m so excited for the coming match. It’s going to be epic.

Complete collapse Iga. Mental and gamewise

 

[Rosstour]

Wow. That is really something

 

[Move]

I hope the crowd does not play too big of a role. Second serves you know

 

[TheAssassin]

Oh that third set score looks so beautiful. Cheers Aryna.

That's what I'm wondering lol crazy scoreline

 

[speedysteve]

So happy to see a doper gone and buried with a bagel
Saba pure heart while Iga was just psychotic angry and twitch

Ouch!

 

[Pheasant]

Sabalenka was launching cannons the entire set and she didn’t have a single UE while doing it. Sabalenka was unplayable that set. But nobody bagels Swiatek at RG, unless she’s playing her worst tennis. The perfect storm hit for that lobsided 3rd set.

 

[Juice4080]

Swiatek’s A-game is still good enough to take down anyone. But if she’s even slightly off, she’s vulnerable to getting steamrolled by just about anyone. There’s no buffer anymore. Her floor and ceiling feel way too close together, a sharp drop from the dominance she showed not that long ago.

I said it before the season even started: the drug suspension, combined with the fact she’s not exactly beloved in the locker room, signaled that her best days might already be behind her. The mental scarring runs deep and it’s showing.

 

[Arak]

I hope the crowd does not play too big of a role. Second serves you know

I’m hoping for a heartbreak for the Parisian crowd.

 

[Fed881981]

Congratulations and thank you, Sabalenka.

 

[bw114]

Swiatek is maybe the most unlikable ATG currently on either tour. I’d sooner root for Sinner

 

[MichaelNadal]

6 points won in the final set...

 

[Kralingen]

Swiatek is maybe the most unlikable ATG currently on either tour. I’d sooner root for Sinner

I actually feel bad for Iga when she loses like this, she inspires some sympathy. Clearly something is not right behind closed doors.

I feel nothing for Clostebol. Nothing at all.

Well, if Sabalenka does what Sabalenka can do than there is very little Iga can do in response. Especially in these conditions where she can’t get the help from the high bounce to make things awkward for her opponent.

 

[GhostDog]

Iga getting bageled in the 3rd. Yikes

Sabs GS to loose.

 

[Djokovic2011]

Swiatek is maybe the most unlikable ATG currently on either tour. I’d sooner root for Sinner

She does come across as a thoroughly unpleasant individual, not to mention a rather unsportsmanlike one to boot.

 

[Fed881981]

She’s very unlikable… so much so that she made me root for Sabalenka…

 

[tennis24x7]

I'm sure it was Kader Nouni calling the Rybakina match when she had her "She didn't ask you to check it" moment, and today he calls her on BS again. What a guy.

IS he the one with the beard and the baritone voice? If so I like him, man that voice is gifted from the Gods.

I cannot stand the quivering whimper in post match pressers, the hand up on return to delay the server. Sabalenka is her antithesis in every way. Thank god she won

 

[Sudacafan]

Iga's ranking is gonna fall to #7 now.

It’s so strange to see Pegula, Paolini, Zheng and Andreeva above her.

It’s even stranger to see Pegula at #3.

24-6 in points that 3rd set.....just became a tsunami after the 3rd game.

 

[tennis24x7]

Also just a reminder if Swiatek wins this whole thing she’ll have to have gone through Rybakina, Svitolina, Sabalenka and then Gauff (or Boisson).

To be the first woman in the open era to win 4 consecutive French Opens. Not done by Graf or Court or Seles or Serena or Henin.

Credit where credit is possibly due to the 24 year old.

I sincerely hope she does not.

 

[Hitman]

Yes

 

[Djokovic2011]

It's not gonna happen but Aryna and Djokovic both winning the title this weekend would make this RG one of the best and most memorable GS tournaments ever for me. Now that really would be epic AF.

 

[Rosstour]

They're both cutthroat dopers and deserve no sympathy from fans

 

[tennis24x7]

Absolutely horrible. Saba did nothing in this set, Iga cant hit a ball

I have seen this happen many times and wonder how a pro player can be so bad for so long

 

[tennis24x7]

It's not gonna happen but Aryna and Djokovic both winning the title this weekend would make this RG one of the best and most memorable GS tournaments ever for me. Now that really would be epic AF.

I don't think Djokovic will, Sinner or Alcaraz will take him out.

Good lord what have I missed? I wonder what kind of money one would have got for a bagle of Iga and I don't even bet...

 

[Jonas78]

True, but i cant remember having seen a top male player ever play as bad as Iga did in the third set.

 

[DariaGT]

Ouch!

have you seen how she has been acting on the court?
very odd, psychotic angry fits and questioning so many calls
that were clear winners, a real freak show.

 

[Rosstour]

It's not gonna happen but Aryna and Djokovic both winning the title this weekend would make this RG one of the best and most memorable GS tournaments ever for me. Now that really would be epic AF.

Why isn't it going to happen? I feel it's the most likely thing to happen

 

[Rosstour]

True, but i cant remember having seen a top male player ever play as bad as Iga did in the third set.

Ever watch a Federer match?

 

[Djokovic2011]

Why isn't it going to happen? I feel it's the most likely thing to happen

I like you Rosstour but just stop it lol. We both know fine well that Djokovic ain't beating Sinner and Alcaraz back to back at 38.

 

[Sudacafan]

Just voted.

you havent seen kyrgios vs Rudd or Khachanov?
Fed vs Septic or Millman? classic self Fedestruction
