French Open 2022: Iga Swiatek makes short work of Daria Kasatkina to power into Roland-Garros final

Iga Swiatek continued her remarkable run of form, as she brushed aside the challenge of Daria Kasatkina 6-2 6-1 to power into the final of the French Open. The Pole has carried all before her in the women’s game for months, and victory over Kasatkina was her 34th win on the bounce.

Ad/> The task facing Kasatkina was a daunting one having won only 11 games in total in the three matches with Swiatek, and the ruthless Pole continued her excellent record against the Russian in this semi-final clash. Roland-Garros'Very complete' Swiatek has edge over Kasatkina ahead of semi-final, says CorretjaA DAY AGO Kasatkina had chances in the first set, but paid the price for a number of big misses as Swiatek wrapped it up with a degree of comfort.

The set was wrapped up by Swiatek’s backhand and she seemed to be finding her stride after a nervy start. The belief also seemed to drain from Kasatkina, who was overwhelmed at the start of the second set.

An early break of serve put the world No. 1 in total control and she secured her place in her second French Open final, and will look to add to the Roland-Garros crown she landed in 2020.
