I'm giving Coco a set because I like her so much, but Iga is on such a roll, and she's won it already. No one is taking this from her.

I'm just hoping Coco gives Iga a run for her money. Upset seems unlikely, IMO.

Iga Swiatek is the first player to reach 6+ finals in the WTA Tour in the first six months of the year, since Serena Williams in 2013 (seven).
Iga has won 34 straight matches and is looking to equal Venus Williams run of 35 ( in 2000), with a win in the Ladies final.
Iga is 8-1 in finals and has not lost a championship match in more than 3 years.
Iga leads their H2H 2-0

Coco Gauff has not dropped a set enroute to the finals, she became the youngest player to reach the final in Paris since Kim Clijsters in 2001.
Gauff has always been a 'talented player', to me she really has come 'into her own' at Roland Garos this year.Her serve and ground strokes are more powerful.One thing I have always admired about Coco is, she is grounded and mature beyond her 18 years.
(Note: Coco and Jess Pegula have made the Ladies Doubles final, which is a great result).

Both ladies deserve to be in the final, and good luck to both players !

Iga is targeting the fhand wing of Coco,also serving to Coco's fhand wing and getting errors off it

Coco has to hold here, and needs good first serves, giving her some free points

Yep. She will have to adjust her tactics on defense. I don't know what her parents prepped her for
