– Iga Swiatek is bidding to become the youngest woman from Poland to win a Grand Slam title since Monica Seles in 1992 when she plays American Sofia Kenin in the French Open final on Saturday. The 19-year-old has lost just 23 games in four matches, but she will be playing in her first major final when she takes on the 21-year-old Kenin, who won the Australian Open earlier this year, reports Reuters. Swiatek, who beat Serena Williams in the fourth round of this year’s US Open, is the first Polish woman to reach a Grand Slam singles final. “I think if I’m going to win, it’s going to be crazy and super overwhelming for me,” she says. “But even though there’s, like, chaos around me, when I’m coming on court, I feel like my mind is clear. Just focus on playing, going back to basics.”
