Iga Swiatek takes on Karolina Muchova in the French Open Final at Roland Garros on Saturday and we take a look at the game from a betting angle.
Iga Swiatek, the top seed has marched through to the Final with very few problems. She had straight sets victories in her 1st and 2nd rounds before a 6-0, 6-0 win over Wang in the 3rd round. She then got a walk over, over Tsurenko when leading 5-1 in the 1st set and her quarter-final against 6th seeded Gauff was also one sided with a 6-4, 6-2 victory. She was pushed hard in the 2nd set of her semi-final against Haddad Maia after winning the 1st set 6-2, the tie breaker was eventually clinched 9-7 to send her through to the Final.
Unseeded Karolina Muchova has had a far more difficult run to the Final and it began with a tough straight sets victory 7-6, 7-5 over 8th seed Sakkari in the 1st round. She then battled to beat Podoroska 6-3 in the 3rd set in the 2nd round before a couple of straight sets victories saw her through to the quarter-finals where she beat Pavlyuchenkova 7-5, 6-2. Her semi-final against 2nd seed, Sabalenka was an epic affair and Muchova won the 1st set 7-6 before losing the 2nd set 6-7 and finally clinching the match 7-5 in the 3rd set.

Iga Swiatek 1/8
Karolina Muchova 5/1
It is hard to look past a Swiatek win here as the No. 1 seed has been in absolute dominant form. Muchova though has fought hard and showed in the semi-final that she is more than capable of mixing it with the best on this surface. I have a feeling that Muchova is going to put up a fight and I am going to bet that we are going get 20 games or more in the match.
