Swiatek extends leadpublished at 14:31 British Summer Time 4 June 2022
Swiatek 4-0 Gauff*
Iga Swiatek goes after Coco Gauff's forehand, drawing out three errors before Gauff can step in and swing a winner freely away.
It's still an easy hold for Swiatek, though. This is a bit of a steamrollering so far.

This is absolutely ruthless from Swiatek, and it's looking a little bit frightening for the American.
The thing with Coco is she's trying to roll the forehand and lift it with height. She has to go through the ball and it's bringing too many unforced errors on that side.

Naomi Broady
British player on BBC Radio 5 Live
Swiatek has a habit of by the time she gets through to the final she absolutely steamrolls her opponents.
She sometimes has to battle in the early rounds but when she gets to the final she is coasting.

It was a very edgy game from Gauff and let's just hope that gets it out of her system.

While wandering around Chatrier in the final hour before the match, it is clear to see the Polish support.
The language barrier between myself and these four fellas was tricky to negotiate, not going to lie.
But we did manage to break it down sufficiently to learn Martin (left) and his son Kamil (right), plus friends Gracian and Marian, have driven all the way from Poland for the match.
The journey from their home in Slubice - a border town on the west next to Germany - to Paris took 12 hours yesterday.
They are certain it will be worth the long trip.
