PARIS : Iga Swiatek goes into Saturday's French Open final as the overwhelming favourite having won the title twice at Roland Garros and knowing she has a safety net on clay.

Improvement I feel like is everywhere. Like tennis-wise, mentally, tactically, physically, just having the experience," she said.
