The 128-player field has whittled down to just two, as World No. 1 Iga Swiatek and Coco Gauff prepare to battle it out for the 2022 French Open title on Saturday.
Swiatek was the leading contender to win the title prior to the tournament and has lived up to the billing. She is just one match away from laying her hands on the Roland Garros trophy for the second time in her career.
The Pole arrived in Paris on a 28-match winning streak, which she has now extended to 34, equalling Serena Williams' unbeaten run of 2013. With another win, Swiatek could tie Venus Williams' 35-match winning streak, the longest undefeated run since 2000.

The World No. 1 kicked off her campaign in Paris with commanding wins over Lesia Tsurenko and Alison Riske. Danka Kovinic lost in straight sets despite putting up a decent fight in the third round. Qinwen Zheng took a set off the Pole, but went down in three sets.
Swiatek breezed past Jessica Pegula and Daria Kasatkina in the quarterfinals and semifinals respectively to reach her second Grand Slam final.
Coco Gauff, meanwhile, has been touted as a potential Grand Slam champion since she burst onto the scene in 2019 as a 15-year-old. Now, three years later, the teenager has a shot at winning her maiden Major.
Gauff arrived in Paris under the radar, but soon shot into title contention as other big names made early exits. She's yet to drop a set in the tournament.
The American defeated Rebecca Marino, Alison Van Uytvanck, Kaia Kanepi and Elise Mertens in the first four rounds to make the last eight for the second year running.
Gauff then defeated 2017 US Open champion Sloane Stephens in the quarterfinals and Martina Trevisan in the semifinals to book her spot in her maiden Grand Slam final.
She has also been competing in the women's doubles event this year, partnering compatriot Jessica Pegula, and has reached the final there as well.
