The stage is all set for the 2024 French Open women’s singles final. Iga Swiatek, the world no.1 from Poland, and Jasmine Paolini, the world no.15 from Italy, both dominated their opponents in their respective semifinal matches to set up a faceoff in the final.
Jasmine Paolini rose to the occasion with a dream run at Roland Garros where she has now reached the final, having never made it past the third round at any Slam previously. The 28-year-old took out Russian prodigy, 17-year-old Mirra Andreeva, 6-3, 6-1 in the semifinal.
Iga Swiatek, who is largely the favourite to win her favorite Slam again, has only dropped a total of 14 games in her last 4 matches, after surviving the test of Naomi Osaka in the second round. She got her eleventh victory over 2023 US Open champion Coco Gauff in straight sets today, triumphing 6-2, 6-4 to reach her third consecutive French Open final.

Iga Swiatek vs. Jasmine Paolini: Match Preview

Iga Swiatek vs. Jasmine Paolini: Match Prediction
Swiatek is going for a record third consecutive French Open title while Paolini is playing the biggest match of her career. Although Paolini is five years older, Swiatek has gained immense experience playing matches with high stakes in the last few years.
Also, given their history, Swiatek holds all the cards needed to stop Paolini’s run. They have not played in almost two years, but recent results also favor the World No.1 in the last match of the women’s singles draw. However, there is a little chance that this might prove to be wrong, as Paolini has already overcome Rybakina, against whom she had similar results before their French Open match.
Match prediction: Iga Swiatek to win in two sets
