In the eyes of many seasoned observers, Swiatek was the third favourite for the title behind Sabalenka and American second seed Gauff, who beat French wildcard Lois Boisson in Thursday's second semi-final.Swiatek has been nowhere near her dominant best over the past year, failing to reach a final since last year's French Open triumph and slipping to her lowest ranking since March 2022.

After a chastening defeat in the Italian Open third round, Swiatek's return to Paris offered positivity."I think I already changed my mindset before this tournament," said Swiatek shortly after her first French Open defeat since 2021."Losing early in Rome gave me some time and perspective."
