Sabalenka snapped Swiatek's 26-match winning streak and reached the French Open women's singles final for the first time in her career

On the 5th local time, Sabalenka, the world's first sister and the top seed of Belarus, finally defeated Poland's fifth seed defending champion Swiatek 7:6 (7:1), 4:6, 6:0 after a fierce battle in three sets, and entered the women's singles final of the French Open for the first time in her career, and also broke the 26-game winning streak of the "Queen of Clay" who dominated three consecutive times, and faced the second seed Gauff of the United States in the final.

"I'm very happy to beat Swiftk at the French Open. It's unbelievable and I'm very proud of it, especially to win this tough game. Sabalenka swept six games in two hours and 19 minutes to end Swiatek's hopes of winning four of her five Grand Slam gold cups in 2020 and 2022, leaving her record 40-3.

Sabalenka, who has now made a breakthrough in the clay Grand Slam, has also become the first woman to reach three Grand Slams in a row (2024 US Open, 2025 Australian Open, French Open) after American diva Serena Williams in 2016 (Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon Championships). ”

Sabalenka, who is good at hard court battles, has won three Grand Slam titles from 2023, 2024 Australian Open, and last year's US Open, which is the first time she has reached the finale of a Grand Slam on clay since the semi-finals of the 2023 French Open. I've improved over the years and now I feel very comfortable on clay, I'm enjoying playing here, and it means even more if I win a title. ”
