Iga Swiatek slipped to fifth in the latest WTA Rankings released on Monday, which will be used for this year’s French Open draw.
The 23-year-old Swiatek will be looking to win a fourth straight and overall, her fifth title at Roland Garros which will be held in Paris from May 25 to June 8.
However, the Polish player, a former World No. 1, has been struggling since her triumph at the 2024 edition of the clay Major. Recently, she lost to American Danielle Collins in the round of 32 at the Italian Open, which led to her dropping from second to fifth place in the rankings.
