Iga Swiatek's surprising defeat to Marta Kostyuk marks a significant upset in the French Open, as the four-time champion was eliminated in straight sets. Kostyuk's victory keeps her unbeaten streak on clay alive this season.
With Swiatek's exit, the tournament now has no former champions remaining in either the men's or women's draws.
The French Open, one of the four Grand Slam tournaments, has seen a series of upsets this year, with many top seeds and former champions failing to advance. This shift may reflect a broader trend in tennis where emerging players are gaining ground against established stars.
Swiatek's loss highlights the increasing unpredictability of the French Open this year, as established players struggle against rising talents like Kostyuk. This trend could signal a shift in the competitive landscape of women's tennis, where younger players are increasingly capable of challenging the status quo.
