Roland Garros 2026 Prediction: Marta Kostyuk vs Iga Świątek – May 31

Analysis and Prediction: Kostyuk vs Świątek – Victory for Świątek with handicap

On May 31, at the prestigious Roland Garros tournament, Marta Kostyuk and Iga Świątek will face off in a battle for a place in the quarterfinals. The Ukrainian tennis player has lost to the Pole in her three previous matches, which begs the question: do we expect another resounding victory from Iga? Below we break down our forecast and recommended bets.

Team Analysis

Marta Kostyuk

Since his transition to clay, Kostyuk has shown exceptional form, racking up a 14-match winning streak and claiming titles in Rouen and Madrid. His decision to skip Rome seems to have been correct, since at Roland Garros he has continued his successful career, winning three rounds and giving up only one set. In her debut, she convincingly beat Selehmeteva (6-2, 6-3). Subsequently, he played a more contested match against Volynets (6-7, 6-3, 6-3), and finally beat Golubic in two sets (6-4, 6-3).

Iga Swiątek

Świątek has arrived at Roland Garros in excellent form, reaching the semi-finals in Rome. In Paris, his time in the tournament has been impeccable, without giving up a single set in his matches against Jones, Bejlek and Linette. In all of these matches, they have outscored their rivals by a margin of at least four games. It is important to note that Iga defends the points from its semifinal last year on this same surface.
