They are getting closer to the goal. After having already won five matches each, Coco Gauff, Iga Swiatek, Jasmine Paolini and Mirra Andreeva are, Thursday June 6, only two successes away from lifting the Suzanne-Lenglen Cup. Triple winner of the event and double title holder, the Pole, world number 1, is the only one to have already experienced the sensation of being crowned at Roland-Garros, while the Italian and the Russian discover this stage of the Grand Slam competition.
A remake of the 2022 final to start
Coco Gauff found Iga Swiatek, her bête noire at Porte d’Auteuil, and was beaten for the third consecutive edition by the Pole (6-2, 6-4), who had already deprived her of her first Major title at Roland -Garros in 2022 leaving him with only four games (6-1, 6-3). The world number 1 is in the final for the fourth time in five years at Roland Garros, and is seeking a fourth crown (including three in a row).
A surprise semi-final to finish
An Aryna Sabalenka-Elena Rybakina clash was expected, but it will ultimately be Mirra Andreeva and Jasmine Paolini who will face each other at the end of the afternoon on the Central. The two players, novices at this stage in Grand Slam, will try to win their first ticket for a Major final. The Russian, aged just 17, could become the youngest player to reach a final of one of the four major tournaments since Martina Hingis, who won her first Australian Open at 15 years and 9 months in 1997.
