Aryna Sabalenka is already in the Roland Garros round of 16 after defeating Olga Danilovic (6-2, 6-3). The number one player is living up to expectations and for many is the top favorite to claim the title on June 7th. However, the Belarusian is keeping an eye on another player: "I don't know. It's hard to predict in women's tennis. I'll leave it to Swiatek, as she won it three times in a row, right?" confessed the Minsk native.

Amanda Anisimova came out of the tunnel she was in this year, which led her to leave tennis for a while for the sake of her mental health. Her advance to the round of 16 of Roland Garros 2025 confirms her clear upward trend, and she will now face Aryna Sabalenka, whom she has beaten in 5 out of the 7 matches they have played. "I am very satisfied with my progress, the technical adjustments I have made are paying off, and I feel like I am enjoying tennis and life again. Victories do not come when you are not happy," she said before assessing her upcoming match with the Belarusian. "Facing the world number 1 is always very special; we are both big hitters, and I know it will be fun," she commented.

Ons Jabeur has written an incredible and beautiful plea in favor of women's tennis and in response to criticism: "Many elite sportswomen have been told the same thing over and over: that nobody watches, nobody cares, that women's sports don't 'sell.' Prejudices come from those who have never seen a match. An empty stadium is considered proof. Full stadiums? Conveniently ignored. A missed shot makes headlines. The hundreds of brilliant shots? Forgotten. But they show up. But they compete. Yet they carry a sport on their shoulders. When a woman wins 6-0, it's called boring. Too easy. When a man does it? That's 'dominance.' 'Strength.' 'Unstoppable.' When women play with strength, they're told they 'play like men.' As if strength, speed, or aggression don't belong in women's sports. If they celebrate, they're dramatic. If they don't, they're cold." This is a portion of the letter, but the rest continues to demand more attention for women's tennis.

Aryna Sabalenka has demonstrated several times the change in her personality, depending on whether she is on or off the court. When she is off the court, she is all happiness and kindness, but when she is on, it's all fury. So the Belarusian explained these changes in personality: "When I'm on the court, I am a completely different person. I am very aggressive. Very focused. It's not about jokes. It's about dreams. I give everything on the court. Off the court, it's very important to surround yourself with the right people and have fun with the team. I am very grateful to each of them. We are like a family," stated the world number one.

At the moment, there is no one who can stop Aryna Sabalenka in her quest to win her first Roland Garros.

It is well known that most tennis players carry out various pre-match routines to enter the game as actively as possible. Some perform specific stretches, others reflex tests. However, Iga Swiatek has surprised us with a different routine, as the defending champion of Roland Garros lies on her back and constantly watches the movement of a ball, possibly to improve her reflexes.
