Swiatek Extends French Open Winning Streak to 23 with Straight-Sets Win over Raducanu

Four-time French Open champion Iga Swiatek decisively defeated British Grand Slam winner Emma Raducanu in the second round of the 2025 French Open, winning 6-1, 6-2 and extending her Paris winning streak to 23 matches. Swiatek, ranked world number five, is aiming to become the first woman in the professional era to claim four consecutive titles at Roland Garros, and she has now beaten Raducanu in all five of their encounters, all in straight sets. Despite Raducanu's initial competitiveness and three break opportunities in the second set, Swiatek's powerful topspin and relentless pressure proved overwhelming. Swiatek credited her success at the tournament to her playing style and the inspiration she draws from the venue, while Raducanu, who had been unwell earlier in the week, struggled to cope with the intensity. Swiatek will next face either Sara Bejlek or Jaqueline Cristian in the third round as she continues her pursuit of a historic fourth consecutive title.
