Iga Swiatek and Coco Gauff will lock horns against each other in the quarterfinals of 2023 French Open. The duo contested in the finals last year, where Swiatek reigned supreme in straight sets. The World No.1 is gunning for a third French Open title, and given how she has played so far, it looks highly probable.
However, Coco Gauff is a fierce competitor, and certainly will not go down without a fight. On paper, this looks like a solid battle, with both players having an aggressive approach. The American will be eager to avenge her defeat in the finals of the Roland Garros last year, where she had no chance against a dominant Iga Swiatek.

Iga Swiatek vs Coco Gauff: Preview
Swiatek has been utterly dominant all throughout the French Open so far. The World No. 1 has already dished out four bagels to her opponents in the first four rounds, and is yet to drop a set. The three-time Grand Slam champion received a walkover in the fourth round encounter, just towards the end of the first set. Lesia Tsurenko was forced to end her campaign after suffering an injury in the fourth round. Iga Swiatek defeated Wang Xinyu in the third round in straight sets, with a score-line of 6-0, 6-0.
Coco Gauff has been in impressive form at the 2023 French Open. The American got the better of Anna Karolina Schmeidlova in straight sets in the fourth round in Paris. The teenager defeated the 16-year-old Mirra Andreeva in the third round, as she came back from a set down. The American displayed great resilience as she outplayed the inexperienced youngster in the final two sets. It is safe to say that despite her current form, Gauff’s biggest challenge lies in the form of Iga Swiatek.
Iga Swiatek vs Coco Gauff: Prediction
Swiatek is the certain favorite to progress into the semifinals. The top seed has hardly put a foot wrong all throughout the tournament so far, and it will be difficult to stop her from winning her second successive French Open title. The Pole will have the mental edge over her opponent as well, given that she defeated her in the finals of the same tournament last year. Gauff will certainly put up a fight, but Swiatek’s class on the clay courts will eventually come through.
Prediction: Iga Swiatek to win in straight sets
