World No.1 Iga Swiatek will face American teenager Coco Gauff in the women’s singles final of the French Open 2022 on Saturday, June 4.
Swiatek extended her winning streak to a staggering 34 after she registered a dominating 6-2, 6-1 straight-set win over Russian No.20 seed Daria Kasatkina in the women’s singles semi-finals on Thursday.
Poland’s Swiatek, the 2020 champion, has not suffered a defeat since February and has equalled Serena William’s winning run from 2013. She has now lost only two sets in her last-four tournaments.
Meanwhile, 18-year-old American tennis player Coco Gauff stormed into her maiden Grand Slam final after defeating Italy’s Martina Trevisan 6-3, 6-1 in another semi-final.
Gauff is the youngest Grand Slam finalist since Maria Sharapova won Wimbledon in 2004.
Furthermore, Polish star Swiatek is the youngest player ranked in the top-10.
Swiatek was the champion at the 2020 French Open and is the first player representing Poland to win a Grand Slam singles title.
