Tennis stars Iga Swiatek and Jasmine Paolini are all set to lock horns for the final showdown of the French Open 2024, slated to take place on June 8 in Paris. Notably, world number one Iga Swiatek won the title in 2021 and 2022, and she will be looking to win in the ongoing event. On the other hand, Paolini seems tremendous and can win the title after upsetting the Polish star.
The 23-year-old Iga Swiatek had outclassed Leolia Jeanjean in the opening round; however, she suffered a great scare in the second round while facing Naomi Osaka. However, the 23-year-old went on to outclass Marie Bouzkova and Anastasia Potapova before thrashing Marketa Vondrousova and Coco Gauf in the quarterfinals and semifinals, respectively.
On the other hand, Jasmine Paolini also had her dream run in the French Open 2024, as she outclassed Daria Saville, Hailey Baptiste, Bianca Andreescu, and Elina Avanesyan before thrashing Elena Rybakina in the quarterfinals and Mirra Andreev in the semifinals of the marquee event.
