Iga Swiatek advances to the Paris final after a commanding victory over Coco Gauff. The world number one, aiming for her third consecutive Roland Garros title, will now face Italian 12th seed Jasmine Paolini in Saturday’s final.
In a match characterized by Swiatek’s dominance, she broke Gauff early on and maintained control throughout, clinching a 6-2 6-4 win despite Gauff’s resilience, saving three match points.
Reflecting on her performance, Swiatek expressed satisfaction with her tactical approach and determination.
Paolini secured her spot in the final with a convincing win over unseeded Russian Mirra Andreeva in the second semi-final.
The showdown between Swiatek and Gauff highlighted the stark contrast in their performances, with Swiatek’s consistency proving too much for Gauff to handle.
Now, all eyes are on whether Paolini can halt Swiatek’s quest for a historic third consecutive French Open title, as Swiatek aims to join an elite group of women achievers in the Open era.
