Iga Swiatek faced Nadia Podoroska in the Roland Garros semifinal and she had no issues against the Argentinian cruising to her first career Grand Slam final.
Iga Swiatek reached her first career Grand Slam final after defeating Nadia Podoroska in 70 minutes 6-2 6-1. It was a stellar display from the Polish player, one of many she has had over the last two weeks. She set the ton early from the start breaking Podoroska immediately to take a 2-0 lead which grew exponentially over the course of the set until it ended 6-2 for Swiatek. Both of them played aggressive and high-octane tennis but Swiatek balanced her winners better which proved key.
The 2nd set was even more impressive by Swiatek. She continued playing aggressive tennis while Podoroska slowly faltered off. Swiatek had 13 winners and only 8 errors compared to Podoroska which had 1 winner and 7 errors. The 35-minute effort ended with Swiatek winning 6-1.
It was a great display against a player who could not match her in quality or intensity and she continues to play like this she will win the Roland Garros.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
