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.

At the end of last year, the pair split wins in Wuhan and Riyadh. Their first meeting this year came in the Madrid final. Sabalenka won 6-3, 7-6. That win drew the 27-year-old Belarusian level in the head-to-head.
