Iga Swiatek will face Karolina Muchova in the French Open women’s final on Saturday in Paris. The match will be live streamed on fuboTV (free trial).

A little more than four years ago, in the first round of a tiny clay-court tournament in the Czech Republic, 95th-ranked Swiatek lost in three sets to 106th-ranked Muchova.

That was the only time they’ve ever played each other, although they are frequent practice partners.

On Saturday, the same two players will step into Court Philippe Chatrier for a second matchup — on a far grander stage and with far larger stakes: the French Open championship. Swiatek is now ranked No. 1, where she’s been for more than a year, and is bidding for her third title at Roland Garros and fourth at a major tournament.

Muchova’s career has been sidetracked by various injuries, so she is ranked just 43rd and is unseeded, but she has been at her best over the past two weeks, particularly when coming back after facing a match point to eliminate No. 2 Aryna Sabalenka in the semifinals on Thursday.

And Muchova did it with the same mix of old-school and new-school tennis that Swiatek remembers seeing up close during that initial encounter in Prague in April 2019.
