Iga Swiatek routs Daria Kasatkina to reach French Open final

Iga Swiatek continued her march toward a second French Open title in three years when she demolished Russian Daria Kasatkina 6-2, 6-1 to reach the final and extend her winning streak to 34 matches.

World No. 1 Swiatek conceded an early break Thursday but made the most of Kasatkina's string of unforced errors and peppered Court Philippe Chatrier with winners.

Swiatek, the 2020 champion, has not lost since February and matched Serena Williams' 34-match winning streak from 2013. Swiatek has lost only two sets in her past four tournaments.

She will meet either American teenager Coco Gauff, the 18th seed, or Italy's Martina Trevisan in Saturday's final. With a win, Swiatek, who turned 21 on Tuesday, would become only the fourth woman in the Open era (since 1968) to win multiple French Open titles at age 21 or younger, joining Monica Seles (who won 3), Steffi Graf and Chris Evert.

Another win would also tie Swiatek with Venus Williams for the longest winning streak on the WTA Tour since 2000 at 35 matches.

Swiatek again played with a ribbon in the colors of the Ukrainian flag pinned to her hat while facing her Russian opponent.
