Swiatek Sweeps Osaka Aside to Reach French Open Final
Dominant Display Sets Up Gauff Rematch
In a thrilling semi-final clash, Iga Swiatek showcased her dominance once again, overcoming Naomi Osaka in straight sets to secure her place in the French Open final.
The reigning champion, Swiatek, extended her remarkable winning streak to 34 matches, overpowering Osaka 6-4, 6-0 in just over an hour. The Polish star's relentless aggression and pinpoint accuracy proved too much for the Japanese former world number one.
The victory sets up a highly anticipated rematch against another rising star, Coco Gauff, who Swiatek defeated in the semi-finals of last year's tournament. The American has also been in impressive form at Roland Garros, reaching her first Grand Slam final.
Swiatek's dominance on clay is undeniable. She has won the past six tournaments she has played on the surface, including her triumph at Roland Garros in 2020. The 20-year-old is on the cusp of becoming the first woman since Justine Henin in 2007 to win multiple French Open titles in a row.
