 Anastasia Pavlochenkova versus Barbara Krajakova is the women's final for the French Open for 2021, and both players are about to fight their way to get to their first Grand Saint Final. Krajakova started the tournament unseeded, taking on Christina Plischkova. And after dropping the first set, she came back to win in three, five, seven, six, four, six, two. Her second round opponent was against the 32nd seed Alexandrova, and she was very impressive winning in straight sets, six, two, six, three. Her third round was against the fifth seed, Spitalina. And again, Krajakova, very impressive winning in straight sets, six, three, six, two. Her fourth round opponent was against former French Open finalist, Sloane Stevens. But she destroyed Stevens in straight sets, six, two, six, love. In the quarter finals, Krajakova would take on the number 24 seed, Coco Gough. And after a very tight first set, Krajakova would get through in straight sets, seven, six, six, three. In the semifinals, Krajakova would take on the 17th seed, Sakari. And after saving match points in the third set, Krajakova eventually prevailed in three tight, tight sets, seven, five, four, six, nine, seven to advance to the final. Pavlochenkova entered the tournament as the 31st seed and played Mikhail in the first round, getting through in straight sets, six, four, six, love. Her second round opponent, Tomjanovic, was another easy match. Pavlochenkova won in straight sets, six, two, six, three. Her third round opponent was number three seed, Sabalenka, and one of the favourites for the tournament. And after dropping the second set, Pavlochenkova finished real strong, getting through in three, six, four, two, six, six, love. In her fourth round, she'd take on another Belarusian, the number 15 seed, Azarenka. And after going down in the first set, Pavlochenkova rebounded, came back to win, five, seven, six, three, six, two. In the quarterfinals, she would take on her doubles partner for all the French Open and the 21 seed, Rabakina. And after going down in the first set, Pavlochenkova would rebound to win in an epic third, six, seven, six, two, nine, seven. In her semifinal, Pavlochenkova would take on Zedensek, who was an unseeded player making a dream run to the semifinals. Pavlochenkova was too strong in the end, winning in straight sets, seven, five, six, three, to advance to her first grand slam final. These two have never played before on the tour, so it's a first time meeting for both. And both of our different semifinals coming in to the final, with Pavlochenkova getting the easier road, and Krajakova having to play over three hours. So let's see if that actually affects her in the final. If Krajakova is going to win, she needs to have cleaned up her game. Her errors in the semifinals were way too many. She hit so many errors and yet somehow still made it through, which is going to have to clean up the errors and bring the variety that she does during her doubles matches, because she is a former world number one in the doubles. Pavlochenkova is going to win. She needs to get off to a fast start. In some of her matches, this tournament, she's lost the first set. She's had to fight from behind, but against Zedensek in the semifinals, she won the first set and that really gave her the confidence to win the second. So she needs to start off really strong if she's going to win this one. Both are playing in their first final of a Grand Slam, so there's going to be a lot of nerves, especially early on. But I'm going to go with Pavlochenkova to win her first major, another Russian winning the French Open. Seems to happen a lot on the women's side, but let me know down in the comments below. Who do you think is going to win the final?
