Only in the very beginning of the match was Iga Swiatek maybe remotely troubled by Daria Kasatkina, but overall it was a dominant 6-2 6-1 victory for the world number one who returns to the Roland Garros final.
Even though the 20th-seeded Kasatkina quickly erased the initial 2-0 deficit she faced, Swiatek’s superiority was never questioned. The title favorite won four consecutive games from 2-2 to comfortably take the first set, sealing it with a love break. When Kasatkina was not helping her with unforced errors, Swiatek took advantage of her opponent’s extremely weak second serves.
