Iga Swiatek is currently on an impressive winning streak at the French Open, having won the title four out of the past five years. This year, she secured her third successive French Open women’s title by defeating Italian player Jasmine Paolini in a comprehensive victory.
The 23-year-old from Poland continued her dominance on the clay courts of Roland Garros with a 6-2, 6-1 win over Paolini, who was playing in her first major final. Despite trailing by an early break, Swiatek quickly turned the match around and won 11 of the next 12 games to secure her victory.
This win marks Swiatek’s fourth title at the French Open and her fifth Grand Slam triumph overall, following her victory at the 2022 US Open. She now joins the ranks of Monica Seles and Justine Henin as the only players in the Open era to achieve a ‘three-peat’ in the women’s singles at the French Open.
Notably, Swiatek is also the youngest player in the Open era to have won four titles at Roland Garros. After her victory, she celebrated by sinking to her knees and dancing around the court in jubilation. The Polish player’s impressive run at the French Open is a testament to her skill and determination on the tennis court.
