It's a remake of the 2022 Roland Garros final that awaits spectators at the Foro Italico this Thursday with the showdown between Iga Swiatek and Coco Gauff. World number one, the Pole will be the favorite in this duel, riding on a very impressive winning streak. The tennis player from Warsaw recently won the Madrid Open a few days ago and is currently on a 10-match winning streak. Arriving in the Italian capital with confidence, Iga Swiatek has not faltered so far, achieving 4 victories without dropping a set, including a controlled quarterfinal against American Madison Keys, conceding only 4 games. Therefore, in full possession of her abilities and having spent little time on the courts, the Pole will face a determined Coco Gauff, who is eager to dethrone the queen of clay. The WTA's 3rd-ranked player is gaining momentum in her tournament, and although her early matches were challenging with 3-set victories against Irina Begu and Paula Badosa, her quarterfinal performance against Qinwen Zheng was more convincing. However, now the American faces her nemesis, having only one win in 10 encounters against the world number one. But streaks are meant to be broken, and Coco Gauff would gladly make a statement just days before Roland Garros.
