Iga Swiatek suffered a fourth-round defeat at the French Open to Marta Kostyuk, prompting former player Andy Roddick to express worries about her form. The loss marks her earliest exit at the tournament since 2019. Roddick highlighted her struggles in close matches during his Served Podcast appearance.
Swiatek, the four-time champion on clay, entered the match as the favorite against Kostyuk but fell in straight sets. She led the head-to-head 3-0 yet committed double faults at key moments, allowing the Ukrainian to claim the first set and then win five straight games in the second. The World No. 3 has yet to win a title this season and now faces a potential drop in the rankings after losing 540 points from last year's semifinal run.
