Iga Swiatek has been the monster of Roland Garros over the past five years. The Olympics turned out to be a different challenge.

Playing on the same surface where she has won four French Open titles since 2020, Swiatek was stunned by China’s Zheng Qinwen 6-2, 7-5 in the semifinals of the women’s singles draw, bouncing out the heavy favorite to take gold.

Swiatek will now face the loser of the other semifinal match between Slovakia’s Anna Schmiedlova and Croatia’s Donna Vekic in the bronze medal match.
