Sabalenka enters the final fresh off a win over No. 5 Iga Świątek — putting an end to Świątek's quest for her fourth consecutive women's singles title at the French Open. Sabalenka's trip to the finals marks her second Grand Slam final of the year, having also made the Australian Open final before falling to Madison Keys 3-6, 6-2, 5-7.

Top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka has won the first set 7-6 (5) against No. 2 Coco Gauff in the French Open women's final.
