The four-time Roland Garros winner hasn’t lost a match on these courts since June 9th, 2021—or 1,143 days ago.

We’re just a day away from the kick-off of the Paris Olympic Tennis Event, and if the numbers are anything to go by, Iga Swiatek has to be a big favorite for the women’s gold medal.

First of all, the event is being held at Stade Roland Garros, the home of the Roland Garros tournament—which she’s completely dominated this decade, going 32-1 in her last five appearances and winning the title four times in 2020, 2022, 2023 and 2024.

She’s on a 21-match winning streak on these courts, the fourth-longest winning streak for a woman in the Open Era.

LONGEST ROLAND GARROS WIN STREAKS (women, Open Era):
29: Chris Evert [1974-1981]
25: Monica Seles [1990-1996]
24: Justine Henin [2005-2010]
21: Iga Swiatek [2022-2024]
20: Steffi Graf [1987-1989]

The world No. 1’s last loss on the terre battue was a quarterfinal defeat to Maria Sakkari on June 9th, 2021—all of 1,143 days ago.

Additionally, she’s on a 19-match winning streak on clay, period, having won the last three tournaments she’s played on the surface at Madrid (6-0), Rome (6-0) and Roland Garros (7-0).

And she’s a tour-leading 21-1 on clay this year, her only loss coming to Elena Rybakina in the semifinals of Stuttgart in April.

WTA CLAY-COURT WIN LEADERS FOR 2024 (tour-level):
21: Iga Swiatek [21-1]
16: Danielle Collins [16-4]
15: Aryna Sabalenka [15-4]
15: Mirra Andreeva [15-4] (playing Iasi final on Friday)
14: Magda Linette [14-6] (playing Prague final on Friday)

Swiatek has won a tour-leading five titles this year—one Grand Slam title at Roland Garros and four WTA 1000s at Doha, Indian Wells, Madrid and Rome.

While Swiatek is the only player on the women’s side with 20 or more wins on clay this year, there are four on the men’s side with that many—Sebastian Baez, Casper Ruud, Alexander Zverev and Luciano Darderi, all of whom will be competing at the Olympics.

But unlike Swiatek, this year’s men’s champion at Roland Garros, Carlos Alcaraz, isn’t in that group—he’s not even in the Top 10 clay-court win leaders for the year. But that’s largely due to injuries, not only an arm injury that kept him out of most of the spring lead-up season to Roland Garros, but also an ankle injury that hampered him during the February clay-court season.

The 21-year-old Spaniard has a 12-3 record on clay this year.

ATP CLAY-COURT WIN LEADERS FOR 2024 (tour-level):
24: Sebastian Baez [24-10]
21: Casper Ruud [21-6]
20: Alexander Zverev [20-5]
20: Luciano Darderi [20-10]
19: Stefanos Tsitsipas [19-5]

The tennis event at the 2024 Paris Olympics is being held on the clay courts of Roland Garros, which is bad news for anyone not named Iga Swiatek. At just 23 years old, Swiatek is already a four-time French Open champion. She most recently triumphed on the terre battue only two months ago, blitzing everyone in her path aside from a second-round thriller against Naomi Osaka.

That’s not to say that Swiatek is an absolute lock to capture gold. A formidable list of challengers includes Osaka, Coco Gauff, Elena Rybakina, Jasmine Paolini, and reigning Wimbledon champ Barbora Krejcikova.

Here are my best bets for the women’s side in Paris.

Iga Swiatek (-175)

The men’s side is somewhat up for grabs (even though Carlos Alcaraz has won two consecutive Grand Slams), at least relative to the women’s. Olympic gold on the WTA side would be close to toss-up on any other surface, but on the red clay of Roland Garros it’s a borderline slam dunk for Swiatek. The top-ranked Pole does have a difficult draw at the Paris Games, but you still cannot pick against her at this particular setting.

Jasmine Paolini (+2400)

Paolini has been sensational from start to finish in 2024, and what is especially notable is that she has been getting it done on every surface. The fifth-ranked Italian won the WTA 1000 event in Dubai on hard courts and has finished runner-up at each of the last two majors–on the clay of Roland Garros and the grass of Wimbledon. Clay has generally been her favorite surface over the years, so she should be especially confident in returning to Paris. It’s also worth noting that Paolini has pretty much an ideal draw in the much weaker bottom half, so the door at least to the final is wide open and perhaps she could get lucky with someone like Rybakina or Jelena Ostapenko upsetting Swiatek in the top half.

Naomi Osaka (+2200)

One woman and one woman alone came close to taking down Swiatek at this year’s French Open. In fact, mathematically Osaka could not have come any closer to getting the job done. The Japanese star had a match point to upset the world No. 1 only to succumb 7-6(1), 1-6, 7-5. Even though Osaka has not done much in between these two stops at Roland Garros, she can never be discounted on the big stage. After all, she is a four-time major champion–having won both the Australian Open and U.S. Open twice each.
