The Roland Garros is on the last day of round three and the players will be looking forward to the upcoming round 4 matches which are just one step away from the playoffs. There are still a lot of top players who are involved in both the ATP and the WTA scene. Especially in women's singles where we once again see the top three players still dominating the game and have fixed their place in the 4th round.

The player who is no doubt one of the favorites to win the tournament is World number 1 and defending champion Iga Swiatek. Once again we have seen some great performances from the Polish superstar as she has only lost one set in the entire tournament and is set to play her 4th round match against Anastasia Popotova. The 4-time Grand Slam champion will also be looking forward to completing a threepeat as well.

Iga reveals her tough competitors

We all know that Iga has been leading the rankings in the WTA scene for a long time and is having some great matches with some of the top competitors in the tournament. There is still a big question asked on who the toughest competitors she has faced in her career. The 23-year-old has answered that question by saying " I think Elena and Aryna just because they are so consistent and they are improving kind of with me. There is some rivalry between us. I guess Ons it was always tricky. You had to really think on the court and adjust.”

With this answer, it is no surprise that Swiatek has revealed the names of Elena Ryabakina and Aryna Sabalenka who have been one of her biggest rivals in the game. The inclusion of Ons Jabeur is also there, who is also finding some form in this Grand Slam tournament as well. This was a clear answer given by the defending champion and there is also a chance that she might get to play against them in the tournament moving forward.
