Gauff set up the biggest game of her short career by breezing past Italy's Martina Trevisan 6-3 6-1 on Thursday.
The American took time to settle against Trevisan before an exemplary groundstroke display saw her overpower her opponent and maintain her feat of not yet dropping a set in the tournament so far. The win ensured the world No. 23 became the youngest player to appear in any Grand Slam final in 18 years and the youngest French Open finalist in 21 years.
Swiatek meanwhile eased past Daria Kasatkina 6-2 6-1 to lengthen her winning stretch to 34 matches. A win for the Polish star in this final will see the 20-year-old equal Venus Williams' record of 35 straight wins and is also the first player to reach six or more finals on the Tour in the first six months of the year since Serena in 2013.
