Swiatek vs Gauff live stream: preview

Coco Gauff willl be hoping to gain revenge against Iga Swiatek as the two stars go head-to-head once more in the quarter-finals of the French Open today.

Gauff was handed a heavy defeat by Swiatek in last year's final at Roland Garros, a victory which  marked the Pole's second triumph at the clay court Grand Slam.

World no.1 Swiatek very much has the upper hand over her American rival. She has won all six of their previous meetings, with Gauff yet to win a set in any of their past clashes.

Swiatek has also managed to avoid dropping a set so far in this year's tournament, with the 22-year-old making it through to the quarter-final stage after Lesia Tsurenko was forced to retire from the first set of their match on Monday.

Gauff meanwhile booked her place in the last eight after fighting back from a set down against fellow teen Mirra Andreeva.
