Iga Swiatek will find it 'so tough' to beat Coco Gauff in the French Open final, believes Alex Corretja

World No. 1 Iga Swiatek will find it «so tough» to beat Coco Gauff in the French Open final, says Alex Corretja. Swiatek was in sensational form against Daria Kasatkina in her semi-final, losing just three games to book her place in Saturday's showpiece.
