Coco Gauff will face Ig Swiatek in the world number one title at the French Open after the young man entered his first grand slam final on Thursday with a victory in a row over Martina Trevisanova. The 18-year-old American claimed a 6-3, 6-1 victory in a nervous match in which both players first appeared in the grand semifinals.

Gauff is the youngest grand slam finalist since Maria Sharapova won Wimbledon in 2004. "I think I'm a little shocked now," Gauff said. I don't know how to react to the match. I'm lost in words. "

The players made 37 unforced mistakes in the wrong first set before Gauff played in the second.

The eighteenth seed will be a heavy loser in Saturday's show against Swiatek, who has 34 wins in a row.

Ever since Sharapova shocked Serena Williams in London 18 years ago, she has not lost the desire to become the youngest straw winner.

"I'll just take part in it like any other game," Gauff added.
"Yes, it's a grand slam final, but there's a lot going on in the world right now, especially in the US, so I don't think it's worth promoting."

The unattached Italian Trevisan watched as his spectacular tournament and defeatless 10-game run ended in a whisper as he made four double mistakes and made 36 unforced mistakes.

Gauff made a fast start and broke in the third game for an early advantage.

She became rattled though after failing to persuade the umpire to overturn a controversial line call as errors flew off both players' racquets.

But Gauff composed herself to take the set with a run of three straight games.

Trevisan was broken four times in a row, winning just three points in those games as her serve was taken apart.

The world number 59 took a medical timeout before the second set to have her thigh strapped, but Gauff took total control of the match when she won a 14-minute game with a backhand winner for a 3-1 lead. She goes on to secure the last place in style, breaking again due to love restrictions.
