One of the great dates on the tennis calendar is approaching, and several players will arrive at Roland Garros 2025 with expectations and confidence much lower than befitting their status. Poor results on the tour, lack of confidence, and pressure to defend important results create a cocktail that can either motivate or sink the following protagonists.

Arriving at a Grand Slam without the necessary preparation and feeling far from your best level cannot be easy. In this scenario, some of the world's best tennis players will start their participation in Roland Garros 2025, fully aware that this tournament could be their lifeline or the definitive burden leading to their downfall. The case of Iga Swiatek is the most obvious, but there are many others worth reviewing, as their careers could experience a turning point in the coming weeks.

Doubts, uncertainty, and even fear surround the Polish player. Current champion here, Iga Swiatek has not lifted a title since her triumph in Paris almost a year ago, and the clay court season has highlighted her tennis and personal issues. She feels at home on the courts of Roland Garros and remains one of the top favorites, but if she doesn't raise her level significantly, she could be surprised earlier than expected and suffer a total collapse in her career.

She won't be the only top player arriving under such circumstances. Elena Rybakina needs to soar again after facing very tough months where her emotional and personal situation doesn't seem to align with her best possible athletic performance. Also, Ons Jabeur will vigorously pursue a return to her peak performance, relying on a surface where her tennis can shine. It's been a while since the Tunisian has been in the spotlight and she can't afford to miss more chances.

We must also remember a woman who made the semifinals here and has been in freefall for too long, like Maria Sakkari. The Greek player has dropped significantly in the rankings due to a mix of injuries and loss of confidence, but her resurgence is still anticipated at an event of this caliber. Furthermore, the case of Marketa Vondrousova is peculiar as she defends last year's quarterfinals reached here; however, injuries are preventing her from competing consistently. If she can't play or exits early, a significant drop in the rankings awaits her.

- In the men's tournament, several former top players are in need of reclaiming their best form

Turning to the men's circuit, there are several players in urgent need of a breakthrough result at Roland Garros 2025. The most obvious case is that of Stefanos Tsitsipas. The Greek has fallen beyond the top 15, seems to have completely lost focus in his professional career, and must return to his roots to find a result that redirects his path. He has not succeeded in the lead-up to the Grand Slam, but a former finalist in Paris cannot be easily dismissed.

Similar situations apply to Andrey Rublev and Daniil Medvedev. Despite clay not being their favored surface, especially for Daniil, they must step up if they want to avoid further drops in the ATP rankings and in confidence. They defend the third and fourth rounds, respectively, start with much lower seedings than usual, and are set to face tough opponents in those early matches. Another letdown would deeply demoralize either of them.

Furthermore, we cannot ignore the challenging position of Holger Rune, whose success at the Conde de Godó has overshadowed his poor performances in other tour events. While he has faced health issues and physical discomfort, the young Dane has not achieved his set goals and arrives in Paris under pressure to make that qualitative leap long awaited by fans. Félix Auger-Aliassime is another player whose performance in the previous tour has been lackluster and needs to rediscover his best form at Roland Garros 2025.
