Iga Swiatek injured herself in the match against Rybakina last night at the Rome Open but she seems likely to play at Roland Garros as the injury isn't that big.
Swiatek appeared to injure herself at 6-3 in the second-set tiebreak which required a long medical timeout after the conclusion of that set. She returned to the court with heavy strapping on her leg continuing to play for a while but giving up after four games played. It was a bad ending for her but with Roland Garros close, the most important thing for her is to recover on time.
She provided a small update earlier today noting that she's undergoing tests and then later another one confirming that she's going to Paris. She didn't disclose what kind of injury or how severe it is but added that she'll take a few days off. It seems likely that she had some sort of minor muscle injury.
Her update was posted on Twitter in English and Polish. The English section said this:
"Quick update.A couple of days off for sure. And booking my flight to Paris, so...fingers crossed, please! Hopefully, see you soon."
