The Polish, Iga swiatek, lives a waking dream. At barely 19, the one that was still unknown to the general public a week ago made a sensational entry into these international from France.

And the 54th player in the world doesn't do things by halves, not only she will play this saturday his first final in a Grand Chelem, but she manages to access it without losing a single set.

In the semifinals, faced with the other nice surprise of the tournament, the 131st player in the world, Argentina Nadia Podoroska, it was a formality. Victory in 2 small sets in barely an hour (6/2 6/1). The player, who was still ranked at the start of the year in 255th place in the world, will also have achieved a magical course. But facing the polonaise, the march was far too high.

I'm a little surprised

Says Iga Swiatek after his victory without any false note. A final where the batteries should be full before facing the American Sofia Kenin, 6th player in the world, aged 21, and recent winner of the Australian Open.

Iga is only the 2nd Polish player to qualify for the final of the Roland Garros tournament. She succeeds Jadwiga Jedrzejowska, finalist in 1939 against Simonne.

Finally to conclude, the Polish is also still in the race to hope for a doubles final. AWESOME!
