2.57pm Paolini who became the ninth “oldest” tennis player in the Open era to reach a Slam final for the first time in her career. Top ten monopolized by the Italians with this special ranking led by Flavia Pennetta and Roberta Vinci, and with Francesca Schiavone in fifth place. Better late than never one might say.
2.52pm The Italian will also play for the doubles title tomorrow together with Sara Errani to crown the fabulous period. It’s nothing new to see a tennis player in the final in both the singles and doubles tournaments. Only since 2000 have the French Mary Pierce (2000), the Belgian Kim Clijsters (2003), Sara Errani (2012), the Czechs Lucie Safarova (2015) and Barbora Krejcikova (2021), and finally the American Coco Gauff ( 2022).

Good morning and welcome to LIVE textual LIVE of the Roland Garros women’s final between Jasmine Paolini and the Polish world number one Iga Swiatek. Third direct comparison between the two, second in the major circuit, with the undisputed leader of the WTA ranking who won in 2018 in the ITF in Prague and in 2022 on the outdoor hard courts of the US Open.
Paolini, a twenty-eight year old from Castelnuovo di Garfagnana, comes to this event on the sidelines of the extraordinary victories against the Kazakh Elena Rybakina and against the young Russian Mirra Andreeva. After starting the tournament with 2-0 successes over the Australian Daria Saville and the American Haylei Baptiste, the Italian then defeated first the Canadian Bianca Andreescu and then the Russian Elina Avanesyan in three sets. Thanks to this result, the Tuscan is already certain of breaking into the top ten of the WTA rankings, crowning an extraordinary season so far.
For his part, Swiatek, a twenty-three year old from Warsaw, reaches the final stage of the Parisian tournament after having collected 18 consecutive victories. Victorious in the 1000 tournaments in Madrid and Rome, the Pole escaped a big danger in the second round, canceling match points against an extraordinary Osaka. After the scare, however, Swiatek broke free, leaving crumbs to her opponents.
The Roland Garros 2024 final between Jasmine Paolini and Polish Iga Swiatek will begin at 3.00 pm on Court Philippe-Chatrier. It will be possible to follow the event live on TV on Eurosport, and in streaming on Eurosport.it, DAZN and Discovery. OA Sport will offer you LIVE LIVE written point by point of the match. Have fun and good tennis everyone!
