    It will be interesting to see which player will spark up a rivalry with Swiatek but at the moment she is far and away above everyone else.

    She is actually double the points away from the world number two. That how many leaps and bounds she is ahead of everyone.

    Swiatek 6-1 5-2 Gauff*

    Gauff produces her best return of the match, firing the ball back at Swiatek, but the world number one is so quick, so nimble to move around and adjust and eventually smash home a winner.

    Gauff has the chance to send a forehand pass beyond Swiatek but she nets, handing Swiatek game point, and Swiatek nails a backhand to wrap up the game.

    She's one game away from a second French Open title.

    You feel that Gauff needs to go back to the drawing board after this final with her forehand - she needs to make that really solid.

    Oh!

    Gauff comes so close to paddling back a winner but it drifts over the baseline, and Swiatek claims her third game in a row.

    Swiatek 6-1 3-2 Gauff*

    This is slipping away from Gauff now...

    She lets out a cry of "come on, come on!" as Swiatek sends a return long for 15-30, but Swiatek leaps all over a second serve to earn herself two break points.

    The crack that comes off the forehand when Swiatek connects with it... The speed at which she hits the ball is just incredible.

    Swiatek 6-1 3-2 Gauff*

    Swiatek raises her fist in triumph as a backhand finds the line and it's almost like we're back in the first set as a big forehand takes her to a love hold.

    Swiatek is back on track here, and that game just went a little bit off for Gauff.

    *Swiatek 6-1 2-2 Gauff

    Gauff aims a forehand for the tramlines - and misses!

    Swiatek 6-1 1-2 Gauff*

    It's so important for Gauff to keep her break lead having worked so hard to get it.

    The lights are on, which gives it a whole different feel.

    A lot of new elements for Swiatek to be dealing with now. It's all changed in set number two. Gauff is really matching Swiatek for energy.

  18. Swiatek holdspublished at 14:57 British Summer Time 4 June 2022

    Swiatek 6-1 1-2 Gauff*

    This is more like it.

    Iga Swiatek angles consecutive winners into the corner of the court to work to 30-0 but not even the super quick feet of the world number one can get to a nicely disguised drop shot from Coco Gauff.

    An easy one-two punch from Swiatek hurries her along to a hold.

    Another thing Gauff needs to make inroads is points won on her serve and where she is placing her first serve.

    She has only allowed Swiatek to play two forehands off her serve in this second set.

  20. Gauff holdspublished at 14:54 British Summer Time 4 June 2022

    *Swiatek 6-1 0-2 Gauff

    Swiatek holds her hands out in a "what's happening?" sort of expression as she plants an easy backhand into the middle of the net.

    Gauff can't make the first game point count but she smashes away the second to make a belting start to the second set.
