Iga Swiatek vs. Sofia Kenin 10/10/20 - French Open Women Singles Picks & Predictions
Last Updated: 10/09/2020 at 2:52 PM ET
The final of the 2020 WTA French Open at Roland Garros will be played by Iga Świątek from Poland and Sofia Kenin from the United States.
Iga Świątek has had an outstanding tournament and she has already eliminated big players like Simona Halep. Iga Świątek continued her strong form in the previous round where she won her match in straight sets. It was a dominant display by Iga Świątek with the Polish player only losing 3 games in the entire match. During the win, Iga Świątek won 88% of her service games and 5 return games. This is the furthest that Iga Świątek has made it at a Grand Slam tournament and while she lacks the experience at this stage, she has shown great composure and will be hoping to challenge for the title.
On the other side of the coin, Sofia Kenin defeated Petra Kvitova in the previous round to reach the final of the French Open. During the win, Kenin impressed with her receiving as the American won over 40% of her receiving points which allowed her to break her opponent’s serve on 4 occasions. Kenin has been in outstanding touch in 2020 with her big result taking place at the Australian Open which she won. Kenin has been playing at an elite level all season and she will be hoping to have enough to win her second Grand Slam title of 2020.
This will be the first time that Iga Świątek and Sofia Kenin will be playing each other at a WTA event.
Despite her strong tournament, I see Iga Świątek losing this match. Iga Świątek lacks the experience of playing big Grand Slam matches and I see that costing her in this fixture. Sofia Kenin has been in outstanding touch and with her experience from the Australian Open, I see her being good enough to win this match and the French Open title.
