Iga Świątek chases history on Paris clay

With four Roland-Garros titles already, the Polish star prepares to challenge Chris Evert's record - under the watchful eye of the very legend she hopes to one day surpass

- 

As the 2025 edition of Roland-Garros approaches, Iga Świątek is poised to pursue a fifth women's singles title at the Grand Slam - a feat that would further cement her legacy as one of the sport's greats on clay.

With four titles to her name at just 23, the Polish star is drawing comparisons to Chris Evert, the seven-time champion whose dominance in Paris remains unmatched in the Open Era.

Generations apart but forged in the same spirit on court, the two Rolex Testimonees are now connected not only by their success, but also by their shared admiration and mutual respect.

Humbly deferring to the American legend, Świątek says: "I'm still a princess; there's only one queen."
