There are positives, but we might have to wait.","description":"<p>With a pretty disappointing season prior to the clay, Iga Swiatek looked a lot better with a new coach in her camp.</p><p><br></p><p>After a solid run in Rome losing out to defending champion Elina Svitolina, some even said Swiatek might be a big favourite to win the Roland Garros title a fifth time.</p><p><br></p><p>She won her first two rounds, avoided a dangerous clash against Ostapenko, and then lost in two sets to Madrid champion Marta Kostyuk in the 4th round in Paris.</p><p><br></p><p>Now what? Is it the end for Swiatek? Are her best days already behind her? Are the only things left for her now her memories and trophies?</p><p><br></p><p>I don't think so. It's never clear cut, but Swiatek is only 25 years old, and it happens to basically any great player to have a slump, a bad season or two, or to deal with some difficulties during their careers. The important thing is to keep coming back, keep trying to find solutions, keep playing and fighting.</p><p><br></p><p>It won't be easy, but with patience and resilience, I really think Swiatek will get back to her best - and maybe lift the Roland Garros trophy again as early as next year.</p><p><br></p>","author_name":"Andre Rolemberg, Vansh Vermani, Owen Lewis"}
