SOFIA KENIN QUALIFIED FOR FRENCH OPEN WITHOUT LOOSING SINGLE SET | 2020

 SOFIA KENIN QUALIFIED FOR FRENCH OPEN 

Poland teenager Iga Sviatech, who landed in the ring without any expectations, is on the verge of winning his first Grand Slam singles title in his career. The unseeded player advanced to the final of the French Open Grand Slam tournament. In the first semifinal of the women's singles on Thursday, 19-year-old Svitech defeated qualifier, 131st Nadia Podoroska (Argentina) 6–2, 6–1 in 70 minutes. 

She thus became the first Poland player to reach the final of the French Open during the Open era (since 1968). Prior to 1968, the tournament was called the French Championship. In 1939, Jedrejowska reached the final as a runner-up and became the runner-up. This is the first time another Poland player has reached the Grand Slam final since Agnieszka Radwanska was runner-up at Wimbledon in 2012.

SwiTech has not lost a single set to its rivals in reaching the final. SwiTech became the seventh player to reach the final of the French Open women's singles category unseeded. Currently ranked 54th in the world, SwiTech has yet to win the Women's Tennis Association (WTA) Tour title. SwiTech is the lowest-ranked woman to reach the final of the French Open women's singles since entering the WTA rankings in 1975. The fourth seed in Saturday's final will face this year's Australian Open champion Sofia Kenin (USA). 

Nadia Podoroska became the first woman qualifier to reach the semis at the French Open in a key match. Podoroska was content to win just three games in the match, unable to respond to Svitech's aggressive play. Sviatech beat 23 winners in a row ... Podoroska matched just six. Although both made unnecessary mistakes at the rate of 20, SwiTech broke its rival service five times and ruled out the final result. This is the first time since 1983 that a semi-final between two unseeded players has taken place at the French Open.

This year's Australian Open champion Sofia Kenin defeated seventh seed Petra Kvitova (Czech Republic) 6–4, 7–5 in the second semifinal between the two seeded players. The match, which lasted 45 minutes and an hour, saw Sofia break the opponent's serve four times. Sofia, who won the first set in 40 minutes, had a tough fight in the second set. Two-time Wimbledon champion Kvitova trailed 3–5 at one point in the second set. She then broke Sofia's serve to tie her score at 5–5. But Sofia, who broke Kvitova's serve in Game 11, then defended her serve to clinch the final berth.

World number one Djokovic (Serbia) defeated 17th seed Pablo Carreno Busta (Spain) 4–6, 6–2, 6–3, 6–4 in the men's singles final quarterfinals late on Wednesday night. Reached the semifinals of this tournament for the tenth time. The match lasted 3 hours and 13 minutes, but Djokovic fought hard to lose the first set, then went on to win three sets in a row to advance to the semifinals with fifth seed Citsipas.
