Arena Sabalinka number one in the world is targeting an open French title “means the world” in a confusing final against Coco Goff in second place in Roland Garros on Saturday.
This will be the first time that the best players in the world have met in the Grand Slam Final for women since Caroline Wozniacki Simona Halep defeated the 2018 Australia Open Class.
Sabalenka and Gauff faced in the 2023 final in the United States, when the Belarusian led a group before exploding when the adolescent hollow claimed its main title before marriage.
Their registry was secured to a face at 5-5, although Salalenka came at the forefront in their last meeting in the Madrid Final open last month.
The first seed will be played in its first finals in solid stadiums.
“In the past, I don’t know how many years, we were able to develop my game a lot, so I really feel comfortable on this surface and I really enjoy playing on clay,” she said after ending the Iga Swiaatek attempt to become the fourth Roland Garros in the semi -finals.
“If you will be able to get this cup, the world will mean to us.
“I am ready to go in this final and fight, and fight for every point and give everything that I should give to win.”
SABALENKA picked Swiaatek 26 games in The French Open with a decisive group that took 6-0 in just 22 minutes.
But the 27 -year -old knows that he will not be easy against Jouf, who has always been comfortable with clay and reached at least the quarter -finals in five consecutive games in the tournament.
“It was a big match (against Swiaatek), and I felt as if it were final, but I know that the job has not ended yet, and I have to go there on Saturday, and I have to fight and I must bring the best tennis,” added the pioneer champion three times.
“I must work on this title, especially if it will be Coco.”
Gauff in the hope of staying “calm”
Gauff hopes to become only a third player to win two hands for the Great Championship of Women before the age of 22 since Maria Sharapova added the 2006 US Open Championship to her famous victory in Wimbledon.
Others are Swiaatek and Naomi Osaka number one previous.
This will be the second match of Roland Garros, 21 years old, after she was left to cry after a severe defeat by Sweetik in 2022.
“It is clear here that I only have a much greater confidence than playing the final of the four major championships before and good performance in one,” said Jouf.
“I think going to Saturday will give him the best snapshot and try to be calm and comfortable as possible.”
SABALENKA will play in its seventh finals of the Union of Professional Tennis players, which is more than any player at this stage of one season since Serena Williams – who beat Sharapova to win the title in Paris – in 2013.
Jouf says that the strength of Sabalinka helped her build a leadership at the top of the world rankings.
“I think it is clear that its ball is strikingly, it can reach some large shots and the great winners in all the courts of the court, so I think its ball beats and also its mentality, it is also a fighter, it will remain in the match regardless of the result.”
Goffs in her first final since his victory over Sabalinka in New York two years ago, where she had two losses in the semi -finals since then, including Symick in Roland Garros 12 months ago.
“It is a quick feeling, to be honest. We are open for a long time.”
“I think the previous experience that I played for her, and we had some emerging and lower matches, and we had some of the straight groups and vice versa …
“Anything can happen on Saturday. But I look forward to that, and I am pleased to face number one globally as well.”
