Swiatek will be playing for her fourth title at Roland Garros on Saturday, while it will be the first Major final for the 28-year-old Paolini.
Swiatek is already 11-1 up in the head-to-head with Gauff. "It was intense, very close in the second set. I'm very happy that I stuck to my tactics, didn't think too much and brought it to the end," said Swiatek. The defending champion closed the gap on Steffi Graf (1987 to 1989) with her 20th consecutive victory in a French Open match. However, she is still 9 wins short of the record held by US American Chris Evert.
