MusaAnother Grand Slam, another first-round demolition. Iga Swiatek has turned opening rounds into her personal highlight reel, and her latest victim in Paris never stood a chance. With a commanding win to kick off her 2025 French Open campaign, Swiatek’s already-impressive record in Grand Slam openers has reached absurd new heights—and we’re all just lucky to witness the domination.
Swiatek now boasts an eye-popping 17–1 record in Grand Slam first-round matches, a stat that reads more like something from a video game than real life. Her blend of ruthless baseline aggression and unshakable composure makes her nearly untouchable in these early rounds. No nerves, no slow starts—just pure business.
At Roland Garros, it’s even more lopsided. Paris seems to unlock something primal in Swiatek: her footwork gets crisper, her forehand heavier, and her confidence absolutely untouchable. She treats the red clay like it owes her rent. And honestly? At this point, it kind of does.
What’s even scarier for the rest of the field is how little drama there tends to be. Swiatek doesn’t just win—she annihilates. In this latest outing, she dropped just a handful of games, barely broke a sweat, and looked like she was already mentally prepping for the quarterfinals by the second set.
Her opening-round dominance isn’t just a cool stat—it’s a tone-setter. It sends a warning to everyone in the draw: Iga’s here, she’s locked in, and if you’re not ready from point one, she’ll eat you alive.
So while other stars struggle to shake off the cobwebs, Swiatek arrives already in championship mode. Her latest win isn’t just another checkmark—it’s another brick in the fortress she’s building on tour. And based on her history, don’t expect it to crumble anytime soon.
