Iga Swiatek route to the final | Pole targeting third French Open title

Iga Swiatek arrived at Roland Garros seeking a third French Open title in four years.

The player to beat in recent times, reigning champion Swiatek is aiming to join an exclusive group of players to successfully defend the Coupe Suzanne Lenglen.

Indeed, Margaret Court, Chris Evert, Steffi Graf, Monica Seles and Justine Henin are the only women to previously do so in the Open Era.

Swiatek overcame Cristina Bucsa, Claire Liu and Wang Xinyu whilst only dropping eight games in total. The fourth round was, perhaps, even easier with Lesia Tsurenko retiring at 5-1 down inside the first set.

The Pole then powered past Coco Gauff 6-4, 6-2 in the quarter-finals, before battling past Beatriz Haddad Maia in the last four.

Karolina Muchova stands in her way of a successful defence and third title in four years.
