The four-time Roland Garros champion is seeking to reclaim the title she won three times consecutively between 2022 and 2024, before losing out at the semi-final stage to top seed Aryna Sabalenka last season.

Swiatek, 24, has recently teamed up with Rafael Nadal's former coach Francisco Roig and has been preparing for the clay-court Grand Slam at the Spanish great's tennis academy in Mallorca.

"I spent a week in Mallorca, which is amazing, because starting the clay-court season there gave me a lot of motivation," Swiatek said on court.
