For the first time in her tennis career, Coco Gauff will play in the final for a Grand Slam singles match.
Gauff has torn through the competition in the 2022 French Open, having won each set in which she has played, including a dominant 6-3, 6-1 performance against Martina Trevisan in her semifinal match on Thursday. But the road to her first Grand Slam singles title will face its biggest challenge on Saturday when she faces Iga Swiatek in the final.
Swiatek, the world No. 1 WTA player, has won 34 straight matches, having not lost a match since Feb. 16, when she fell to Jelena Ostapenko in the Dubai Tennis Championships. Swiatek is vying for her second French Open after she won it in 2020.
