Polish playmaker Ija Swiatek, 21, will face American Coco Gauff, 18, in the French Open final.
Gauff is the youngest player to reach a Grand Slam final at 18 years old.
“I think I’m a little shocked now,” she says, after her semi-final win over Martina Trevisan.
super talents “Coco” choirs are hollow She comfortably defeated 28-year-old Italian Martina Trevisan in the semi-finals, 6-3 6-1.
Thus, Gauff is the youngest Grand Slam finalist since Russia’s Maria Sharapova returned to Wimbledon in 2004 – the same year Gauff was born.
“Sure, it’s a Grand Slam final, but there’s a lot of stuff going on in the world right now, not least in the States, so I don’t think it’s something worth stressing about,” Gauff said.
The American previously said she was overwhelmed by reading about the Ovaldi, Texas school shooting in which the 18-year-old perpetrator killed 19 students and two teachers. After the match I wrote “STOP SHOOTING” on the viewfinder.
I’m tired of Trevisan’s whine
Another post-match snack was the Italian’s loud moan during ball matches.
– Is it too loud or not? Early in the match, Goff asked referee Mariana Fijovic.
– I will talk to her when I have the opportunity, answered Filyovich.
– yes. Normally I don’t care, but when I hit the ball it was still screaming, I continued Gauff before returning to the baseline.
Can touch Swiatek Williams
In the final, the Polish world setter is waiting Iga SweatkThe 21-year-old defeated Russia’s Daria Kasatina 6-2, 6-1. The victory was her 34th in a row and if she wins the final she touches Venus Williams It is listed from 2000 as the longest winning pavilion of the 2000s.
However, she still has a long way to go before Martina Navratilova’s 74 consecutive victories in 1984.
– I’m so grateful. It’s easier to play matches with this kind of support. “I’m amazed at how much support I’ve received this week,” Sweetek said in an interview with Al Nasr.
