Iga Swiatek column: French Open finalist on playing Coco Gauff & listening to AC/DC & Gorillaz

The 21-year-old from Poland, who won her first Grand Slam title at Roland Garros in 2020, reached the final in Paris by beating Daria Kasatkina on Thursday to extend her winning streak to 34 matches.

I like watching Coco Gauff - my opponent in the Roland Garros final on Saturday - and maybe this will become a special rivalry for years to come.

I feel like she's been on tour longer than me and she's only 18.

Coco has great potential and I hope she will keep improving. I think this tournament has shown she is on the right path.
