The prominent tennis player Aryna Sabalenka has achieved a significant milestone by reaching the Roland Garros final for the first time, after defeating the four-time champion Iga Swiatek in an intense clash. The match, which lasted more than two hours, culminated in a commanding 6-0 in the third set in favor of the Belarusian, depriving Swiatek of the title and exposing her vulnerability. The defeat has left the Polish woman deeply affected, especially after her recent decline in form since the positive test last summer. Sabalenka, visibly emotional, expressed her pride and acknowledged the difficulty of facing Swiatek in Paris. Now, she is shaping up as the tournament favorite, facing Coco Gauff in the final.
On the other hand, Coco Gauff comfortably advanced to the final after defeating the surprise semifinalist Loïs Boisson with scores of 6-1 and 6-2. The upcoming duel between Sabalenka and Gauff promises to be an event full of expectations, as both players seek to firmly establish themselves in the women's tennis scene. Sabalenka, who has shown steady improvement in her game, is now aiming to consolidate her position as the No. 1 on the tour. The final showdown, scheduled for this Saturday on the central court at Roland Garros, will be broadcast live on Movistar+, where all eyes will be on whether Sabalenka can take home the coveted title.
