Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the women’s singles final at the 2024 French Open, which pits the top seed and favourite Iga Swiatek against the Italian underdog Jasmine Paolini.
Iga Swiatek beat Coco Gauff in straight sets (6-2, 6-4) on Thursday to reach her fourth French Open final.
Gauff’s run through the French Open ended at an all-too familiar destination in the form of Swiatek, the world No 1 who each week gets a step closer to becoming the dominant player of the post-Serena Williams era of tennis, especially when it comes to the red clay of Roland Garros.
Swiatek, who has twice won this tournament, will today take on Jasmine Paolini, who reached her first Grand Slam final after defeating Russia’s Mirra Andreeva 6-3, 6-1.
