We will get to see a repeat of the 2022 French Open finals as Iga Swiatek squares off against Coco Gauff in the final group match on Saturday.
The world No. 1 has been on song at the tournament and has qualified for the semifinals after winning both her matches convincingly.
The 21-year-old began her campaign at the WTA Finals against Daria Kasatkina. Swiatek blew away her opponent, winning two sets comprehensively. The match ended 6-2, 6-3 in favor of the top seed. In the second match, Swiatek faced Caroline Garcia. This was another one-sided affair and Swiatek got the better of the Frenchwoman in straight sets 6-3, 6-2 and sealed the top spot in the group.
The 18-year-old has had a disappointing campaign, both in the singles event as well as the doubles. She has the chance to go out on a high with a win against Swiatek. It will not be easy though. Gauff has lost both her matches so far in straight sets.
In the first match, Gauff was outplayed by Caroline Garcia. The American youngster lost the match 4-6, 3-6. Gauff produced a better effort against Daria Kasatkina, especially in the first set. Kasatkina edged the first set by winning the tiebreaker. In the second set, the Russian star dominated proceedings and eventually won the match 7-6 (8-6), 6-3.
The head-to-head scoreline currently stands at 1-0 in favor of Swiatek. She defeated Gauff in straight sets in the 2022 French Open finals.
Prediction: Iga Swiatek to win in straight sets.
