After exchanging breaks early in the opener, Swiatek slowly made her move as she fired three forehand winners to hold for 3-2. She broke Kasatkina in the next game with another forehand winner as proceeded to take the set.

Fully focused, Swiatek held to open the second set. Kasatkina kept her hopes alive as she drew level, but that was the last game she pocketed as Swiatek picked up five straight to seal the match and her spot in the final.

Coco Gauff advances to first Grand Slam final

Coco Gauff displayed maturity beyond her years as she bested 28-year-old Martina Trevisan 6-3, 6-1 to reach her first Major final.

The 18-year-old Gauff became the third youngest Grand Slam finalist in the 2000s, behind Maria Sharapova (Wimbledon 2004) and Kim Clijsters (French Open 2001). She is also the youngest American female finalist in the French Open since Monica Seles in 1991, and the youngest overall since Clijsters in 2001.

With the win, Gauff avenged her 2020 French Open second-round loss to Trevisan.

Neither player could take the initiative six games into the opener as they had four breaks of serve between them. But the teenage Gauff finally broke through in the seventh game and strung up the next two to move a set away from the finals.

A near-15 minute battle in the fourth game of the second set made the difference for Gauff, who finally broke the Italian first-time Grand Slam semifinalist with a backhand winner. Trevisan had to go through six deuces as she erased three break points but coughed up her fourth double fault to gift the American her fourth break point of the game, which she duly converted.

There's a new Coco in Paris ✨
