Iga Swiatek Preview – Polish star back in the groove
In the middle of this French Open 2022 run, World Number One Iga Swiatek looked to be slipping out of form a little.
She had not been at her fluid, powerful best for a couple of rounds.
Notably, she had some early struggles when dropping the opening set in her Fourth Round match with youngster Zheng Qinwen.
But since coming through that match, Swiatek has gone back up through the gears.
In the match outright for French Open Tennis betting, Swiatek is the 1/8 odds-on favourite* (odds recorded 19:54 GMT on June 3rd, 2022 at William Hill).
She had no issue in her Quarter Final match against Jess Pegula to set up a semi with Daria Kasatkina.
Kasatkina had put together a great campaign and was looking strong.
But Swiatek powered past her, dropping just three games.
That was the quickest match she had completed since the second round. At this stage of a Grand Slam, that’s stunning.
So there are ominous signs there for Cori Gauff ahead of Saturday’s final.
Swiatek burst on the scene at the 2020 French Open, putting a stunning title run together, dropping only 28 games.
Usually, when Swiatek hits the final of the tournament she is unstoppable.
Her professional record across all levels combined in Finals is W15 L1.
Siwatek has won all eight Tour level Finals that she has been in and in none of those did she drop more than five games.
Her numbers are just stunning a Swiatek -4.5 handicap is at 4/5* (odds recorded 19:54 GMT on June 3rd, 2022 at William Hill).
Cori Gauff Preview – Can Gauff steal the show
One of the much-hyped young talents on the WTA, Cori Guaff has been touted as a future Slam champion.
Will it happen for the 19-year-old on the weekend?
In the semi-final match, she efficiently eliminated Martina Trevisan, the Italian churning out an error-strewn performance.
In the match outright for the Final, Gauff is a quote of 5/1 for the win* (odds recorded 19:54 GMT on June 3rd, 2022 at William Hill).
She is in new territory here, this being Gauff’s first Slam final.
A quarter-final finish here at Roland Garros last year was her previous best effort in a major.
Before this year’s French Open, her 2021 efforts in Paris had been the last time that Gauff had won three matches in a tournament.
On the WTA, Gauff has reached three Finals, winning the last two, both WTA 250 level events.

Cori Gauff has never beaten a World Number 1 in a match, losing to Naomi Osaka and twice to Ashleigh Barty in such matches.
So this is a huge task for young Gauff on Saturday, but she’s gutsy and supremely talented.
Swiatek is 2-0 up in the head to head with Gauff.
Their most recent meeting was in March at Miami, Swiatek dropping just four games in a straight-set win.
Gauff deserves a world of credit for getting this far and she hasn’t dropped a set in this campaign.
But this is a different level of opposition to anything she has faced so far.
