PARIS -- After two weeks of play, tennis got "the best women's final" possible at Roland-Garros, where on Saturday, world No. 1 Iga Swiatek and 18-year-old American Coco Gauff will meet for the title.
Swiatek, the French Open 2020 champion, is looking for consecutive win No 35, which would equal the best run this century, a record held by Venus Williams. More importantly, it would give her a second Grand Slam title and cement her status as the undisputed world No. 1.
Gauff, ranked No. 18 in the world, is into her first Grand Slam final after a dream run in which she has not dropped a set, combining class on the court and off it, with maturity beyond her years when discussing anything thrown at her.
