Swiatek, a four-time major winner, holds serve with a strong background on clay. She has won 18 consecutive clay matches and is 34-2 at Roland-Garros.
She also boasts a 2-0 head-to-head record against Paolini, who she has a five-inch advantage over. Paolini mustered just six games in four sets against Swiatek in her career. They squared off in Prague in 2018 and at the 2022 U.S. Open (6-3, 6-0).
The Polish powerhouse is on a 20-match winning streak at Roland Garros since 2022. She won at least one set by a 6-1 or 6-2 margin in each of her three French Open championship matches.
Swiatek took out No. 6 Marketa Vondrousova (6-0, 6-2) and No. 3 Coco Gauff (6-2, 6-4) in the last two rounds. Her only slip of the tournament came with dropping a single set to Naomi Osaka (7-6, 1-6, 7-5) in a shaky encounter.
She has not lost since back in April when she fell in the semifinals at Stuttgart.
The 28-year-old Paolini enters unfamiliar territory. It’s her first trip past the fourth round in any Grand Slam event. Her previous best finish came at the 2024 Australian Open.
The surging Italian knocked out No. 4 Elena Rybakina (6-2, 4-6, 6-4) and 17-year-old Mirra Andreeva (6-3, 6-1) in the last two rounds to reach the final.
Paolini holds a 10-3 record on clay this year. Can she stun the tennis world?
