(Paris) Poland’s Iga Swiatek qualified for the women’s singles final of the French Open tennis tournament thanks to a victory in two sets of 6-2, 6-4 against the American Coco Gauff on Thursday afternoon.

Swiatek earned her ticket to the final duel after a match that lasted 1 hour and 37 minutes, when the 20-year-old American sent a crosscourt forehand out of bounds on Swiatek’s fourth match point.

As a result, Swiatek improved his career record to 11-1 against Gauff, including victories in each of the last three years at the French Open. Swiatek notably defeated Gauff in the final in 2022.

Swiatek also extended her winning streak at Roland Garros to 20 matches.

For the 23-year-old Pole, world number one, this will be a fourth appearance in the women’s singles grand final of the French Open, and a third in a row.

Swiatek has two other women’s singles titles at Roland Garros, in 2020 and 2023. In 2021, she was eliminated in the quarter-finals by the Greek Maria Sakkari.

If Swiatek triumphs on Saturday, she will become the first player since Belgian Justine Henin, between 2007 and 2009, to win the women’s singles on Parisian clay in three consecutive editions.

Swiatek is 4-0 in her career in Grand Slam finals and has been dominant since the start of the tournament.

With the exception of a three-set win over Japan’s Naomi Osaka in the second round, where she had to save a match point, Swiatek conceded just 17 games in her other five outings.

Triomphe de Siegemund and Roger-Vasselin

Earlier Thursday, Laura Siegemund and Édouard Roger-Vasselin won the mixed doubles title after beating Desirae Krawczyk and Neal Skupski 6-4, 7-5.

Siegemund and Roger-Vasselin were reunited for the first time. Siegemund, a 36-year-old German, previously won the mixed doubles title at the U.S. Open with another playing partner in 2016, as well as the women’s doubles title in 2020.

Roger-Vasselin, who is 40 years old, lifted the first mixed doubles title of his career. His only major title was acquired in men’s doubles in Paris in 2014.

Krawczyk, an American, and Skupski, a Briton, won two Wimbledon titles together, in 2021 and 2022.

The men’s doubles final will take place on Saturday at Roland-Garros, and the women’s doubles final will be presented on Sunday.
