Highlights: Iga Swiatek beats Beatriz Haddad Maia to reach third final in five editions. Pole has not lost a set since the beginning of the tournament. Already twice titled Porte d'Auteuil (2020 and 2022) is she following in the footsteps of her idol Rafael Nadal (14 titles)? "What Rafa has done here, what he continues to do, is totally unbelievable. It is totally out of my reach, if I can say that," she says.


Victorious over Brazil's Beatriz Haddad Maia in the semifinals, the Pole, who has not lost a set since the beginning of the tournament, is well on her way to winning a third title.


Despite the good opposition of Beatriz Hadadd Maia in the second set lost in the tie-break 9-7, Iga Swiatek respected his rank to reach a third final in five editions. Already twice titled Porte d'Auteuil (2020 and 2022) is she following in the footsteps of her idol Rafael Nadal (14 titles)? "What Rafa has done here, what he continues to do, is totally unbelievable. I never imagined this could be possible for me. It is totally out of my reach, if I can say that. He's played so well for so many years, I don't know if it will be possible for me. I will try to stay calm, do things one step at a time, and one year at a time. I don't think that way.
