PARIS -- Coco Gauff reached her second final at Roland Garros by beating Los Boisson 6-1, 6-2 on Thursday to end the surprising, upset-filled run by a French wild-card entry who is ranked No. 361.
The victory by No. 2 Gauff sets up a blockbuster championship match against No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka on Saturday.
Sabalenka is a three-time major champion and earned a shot at a fourth by ending Iga Swiatek's 26-match French Open winning streak. Sabalenka's 7-6 (1), 4-6, 6-0 win in the semifinals prevented Swiatek from becoming the first woman to win four consecutive championships in Paris in the Open era (since 1968).
This will be just the second No. 1 vs. No. 2 women's final at the French Open in the past 30 years.
It's also a rematch of the 2023 US Open final, in which Gauff beat Sabalenka to claim her first major trophy at age 19.
Gauff was the runner-up to Swiatek at Roland Garros in 2022.
