Swiatek wins the next rally by coming to the net but then can&#8217;t get a backhand over.  The Pole looks annoyed.  Then Gauff nets, only to plonk an overhead down and out of reach to take the game and hold her serve. <\/p>\n<footer class=\"dcr-1eoy87d\"\/><\/article>\n<article id=\"block-629b624f8f08c28a9854c857\" class=\"block false dcr-hghg3q\">\n<header class=\"dcr-hmma49\"\/>\n<p class=\"dcr-1u6kyh0\"><strong>* Swiatek 6-1 0-1 Gauff<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1u6kyh0\">Hello there!  A skidding serve levels the opening game of the second set at 15-15, but then comes a missed backhand, on the wrong side of the line.  Swiatek looks a bit wobbly on her backhand as he gives up two break points.  And even wilder on her forehand to give up the first, it goes miles wide.  Game on. <\/p>\n<footer class=\"dcr-1eoy87d\"\/><\/article>\n<article id=\"block-629b61148f084d9060b74b70\" class=\"block false dcr-hghg3q\">\n<header class=\"dcr-hmma49\">\n<h2 class=\"dcr-1iv2nv7\">Swiatek takes the first set 6-1<\/h2>\n<\/header>\n<p class=\"dcr-1u6kyh0\">Gauff struggle again on her serve, and Swiatek has two set points.  The first is saved by a fine shot at the end of a good rally.  But then, she is temped into trying to take on too risky a shot and it drifts out.  Just as Gauff looks to play herself back in she makes a series of errors and Swiatek has made far far fewer. <\/p>\n<figure id=\"68213ad5-0cfb-4202-be4e-18f6f57d64d9\" data-spacefinder-role=\"inline\"

Gauff punches down one of those backhands to take an advantage, then forces an error from Swiatek.  A punch of the air and the teenager is on the board. <\/p>\n<figure id=\"e62d9c99-2dee-41dc-92b8-8730e3fc994f\" data-spacefinder-role=\"inline\"

class=\"dcr-1u6kyh0\">Ominously for Gauff, the Swiatek serve is clicking, and the forehand is being targeted.  But at 40-15 down, Gauff nails one, it&#8217;s unreachable.  Still, there&#8217;s a mountain to climb in this set.  It&#8217;s racing by and away from Gauff. <\/p>\n<footer class=\"dcr-1eoy87d\"\/><\/article>\n<article id=\"block-629b5bfd8f084d9060b74b45\" class=\"block false dcr-hghg3q\">\n<header class=\"dcr-hmma49\"\/>\n<p class=\"dcr-1u6kyh0\"><strong>Swiatek 3-0 Gauff *<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1u6kyh0\">A second break.  The Polish player smells blood on the Gauff serve and is charging forward on to it.  Gauff is tempted into backhand hits that go into the net, and a break point is claimed when Swiatek shows how it&#8217;s done.  But two good serves take us to deuce.  Better, only to be ruined by a forehand error.  That&#8217;s saved by a crashing shot that forces Swiatek into missing a volley.  Then comes a skipping serve to hand Gauff game point.  And yet her forehand di lei lets her down once more.  A fourth break point is offered up.  &#8220;Iga, Iga,&#8221; sing the crowd but a backhand rescues Gauff, who crashes one home.  That&#8217;s the shot that will keep her in this match.  The forehand lets her down &#8211; again &#8211; and she can&#8217;t keep in her return of a Swiatek shot to the back of the court.  And again, on the fifth time of asking, another forehand miss. <\/p>\n<footer class=\"dcr-1eoy87d\"\/><\/article>\n<article id=\"block-629b5ac88f08f0cf4d70356f\" class=\"block false dcr-hghg3q\">\n<header class=\"dcr-hmma49\"\/>\n<p class=\"dcr-1u6kyh0\"><strong>* Swiatek 2-0 Gauff<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1u6kyh0\">Swiatek&#8217;s serve does not start with a bang, either, and she nets for 15-15.  Then Gauff blasts back a backhand winner for 15-30.  Swiatek then wins a rally at the net, reading Gauff&#8217;s baseline scrambling very well.  Then Gauff overhits, before rescuing deuce with a crashing winner down the line.  Then comes the first ace of the match, then her di lei next serve di lei presents her with chance to take the game and hold her service. <\/p>\n<footer class=\"dcr-1eoy87d\"\/><\/article>\n<article id=\"block-629b59d88f08c28a9854c80f\" class=\"block false dcr-hghg3q\">\n<header class=\"dcr-hmma49\"\/>\n<p class=\"dcr-1u6kyh0\"><strong>Swiatek 1-0 Gauff *<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1u6kyh0\">Here we go in Parjs, with Gauff to serve first, having taken the honor.  The American&#8217;s first shot rattles off the net, then she double faults for 0-30.  Nervous serving here, but her second serve di lei tempts Swiatek into overhitting for 15-30.  Some pillock does that awful \u201cbu-bu-bu-bo-bo-bo\u201d call-and-response nonsense, and then Gauff makes a mistake, coughing up two break points.  Well done, idiot.  Swiatek takes the first point with a sweeping backhand. <\/p>\n<figure id=\"0273cab0-9033-4a72-a6b4-8abad1671330\" data-spacefinder-role=\"inline\"

It&#8217;s also a battle between two members of the younger generation on the women&#8217;s tour.  Swiatek, the 2020 French Open champion, while Gauff is still just 18, having charmed the tennis world in 2018 with her Wimbledon run di lei.  It&#8217;s her di lei first grand slam final di lei, though she has also reached the women&#8217;s doubles final this year at Roland Garros.  To land the French title, Gauff must beat a player on a 34-match winning streak, going for a sixth title in succession, and therefore upset the odds, though she has yet to drop a set this year in Paris.  This could be a classic, and three sets of tennis must be expected. <\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1u6kyh0\"><strong>We start at 2pm UK time.<\/strong><\/p>\n<footer class=\"dcr-1eoy87d\"\/><\/article>\n<p><gu-island name=\"LiveBlogEpic\" props=\"{&quot;section&quot;:&quot;sport&quot;,&quot;shouldHideReaderRevenue&quot;:false,&quot;tags&quot;:[{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;sport\/french-open-2022&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;Keyword&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;French Open 2022&quot;},{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;sport\/frenchopen&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;Keyword&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;French Open&quot;},{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;sport\/tennis&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;Keyword&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Tennis&quot;},{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;sport\/iga-swiatek&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;Keyword&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Iga Swiatek&quot;},{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;sport\/cori-gauff&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;Keyword&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Coco Gauff&quot;},{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;sport\/us-sport&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;Keyword&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;US sports&quot;},{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;sport\/sport&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;Keyword&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Sport&quot;},{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;type\/article&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;Type&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Article&quot;},{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;tone\/minutebyminute&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;Tone&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Minute by minute&quot;},{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;tone\/news&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;Tone&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;News&quot;},{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;profile\/john-brewin&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;Contributor&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;John Brewin&quot;},{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;tracking\/commissioningdesk\/uk-sport&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;Tracking&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;UK Sport&quot;}],&quot;isPaidContent&quot;:false,&quot;contributionsServiceUrl&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/contributions.guardianapis.com&quot;}\" clientonly=\"true\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Swiatek 6-1 0-2 Gauff * Coco rising, and she serves two beauties to go 30-0 up.
