Czech Republic Karolina Muchova: World No.2 Iga Swiatek shared her ‘priority’ to play in the 2024 Olympic Games, and also expressed disappointment with the World Tennis Association (WTA) for scheduling the Roland Garros 2024 just before the Paris Games.

Roland Garros (French Open) which is scheduled from May 28- June 9, 2024 in the State Roland Garros in Paris will be played just before the Olympic Games, scheduled from July 26 - August 11.

“I need to listen to my body and the season is very intense — our number one priority is to play it until the end in good health and plan it wisely so we wouldn’t risk an injury," Swiatek told EuroSport.
