Swiatek books place in French Open final after fending off Maia

Paris, June 9 (UNI) Defending champion Iga Swiatek booked her place in the Roland-Garros final for the third time in four years after she ended the surprise run of 14th seed Beatriz Haddad Maia, beating the Brazilian 6-2, 7-6(7) on Thursday.
The Pole had to come from a break down in each set and saved a set point in the second-set tiebreak as she won through to a final against unseeded Czech Karolina Muchova, who edged out No.2 seed Aryna Sabalenka in a three-set thriller earlier in the day.
The win also ensured Swiatek will remain world No.1 after the tournament.
