The stage is all set for a mouthwatering semi-final in Roland Garros between World No. 1 Iga Swiatek and World No.3 Coco Gauff. The Pole and the American are meeting for the second time in a span of three weeks.

Iga Swiatek continued her onslaught, taking out 2022 Wimbledon Champion Marketa Vondrousova 6-0, 6-2. Coco Gauff on the other hand had a difficult quarter-final match against Ons Jabeur. She had to make a comeback from a set down, having lost the first set 4-6. It was smooth sailing after that, taking the next two sets 6-2 and 6-3 against the crafty Tunisian.

Iga Swiatek vs. Coco Gauff: Match Preview

Gauff vs Swiatek is one of the most prominent rivalries in women’s tennis currently, even though it has been a completely one-sided affair. The pair has met eleven times previously and Swiatek leads 10-1.

Their match-up on clay courts is more lopsided as Gauff is yet to win a match on the surface. Moreover, every match that Swiatek has won has been in straight sets while Gauff’s sole victory came in three very close sets in Cincinnati last year. 

Their most recent meeting was in the Italian Open semifinal last month, which Swiatek won 6-4, 6-3. In this tournament, Swiatek is the top seed and two-time defending champion while Gauff is seeded three and was a finalist back in 2022.

Iga Swiatek vs Coco Gauff: Match Prediction

Given their history and more recent meetings, Swiatek is undoubtedly the favorite to win the penultimate match and take one final swing at a French Open three-peat.

If Gauff is to win, she will have to play her best tennis from the get-go and hope she gets some free points from the World No.1. Despite being the underdog, she is also experienced in dealing with such matches and situations and is sure to make the match interesting. 

Match prediction: Iga Swiatek to win in two sets.
