Iga Swiatek faces Jasmine Paolini in the French Open final for the women’s singles. Paolini’s impressive run, having never previously progressed beyond the second round of a grand slam in singles before this year, contrasts with Swiatek’s dominance at Roland Garros, with a potential fourth title in five years.
The world No 1 dispatched Coco Gauff, following controversy over a line call, in straight sets in the semi-finals, while her Italian opponent, and 12th seed, had too much for 17-year-old Russian Mirra Andreeva. Paolini has also been juggling a run to the women’s doubles finals, combining well with Sara Errani to also reach a second final this weekend.
Swiatek revealed she is content with all aspects of her game right now, stating: “I got my level of intensity a little bit higher [against Gauff]. I think most of the things overall in my game worked, so I’m proud of myself.” Follow all the latest updates from women’s final day at Roland Garros below:
