Roland-Garros has witnessed an unexpected controversy between two tennis greats: Gael Monfils and Iga Swiatek. The tension began when Swiatek made a comment that angered Monfils, stating that his wife, Elina Svitolina, lacked the necessary ability to compete at the highest level.

These words ignited media coverage at Roland-Garros, creating an atmosphere of high anticipation for the upcoming match between the two players. Fans are eagerly awaiting the outcome, as well as how this emotionally charged rivalry will unfold.
This match promises to be one of the tournament’s most memorable moments, where competition blends with a strong personal impact that has captured the attention of the tennis world.
