American Sofia Kenin and Pole Iga Swiatek will play in the French Open final on Saturday, an unpredictable matchup when the tournament began two weeks ago.
Kenin, the fourth seed who was swept 6-0, 6-0 in her only clay-court tune-up match, completed her march to a second Grand Slam final this year by beating Czech seventh seed Petra Kvitova 6-4, 7-5 on Thursday.
Earlier, the 54th-ranked Swiatek became the second-lowest-ranked French Open women’s finalist in history, dumping 131st-ranked Nadia Podoroska of Argentina 6-2, 6-1.
“On one hand, I know that I can play great tennis,” Swiatek said.
