Iga Swiatek secured her fourth French Open title in five years with a commanding 6-2, 6-1 victory over Italy’s Jasmine Paolini. This win marks Swiatek’s third consecutive Roland Garros singles title, making her the first woman in 17 years to achieve this feat.
The world number one has never lost a Grand Slam final, further cementing her status as a dominant force in women’s tennis. Swiatek’s clinical performance on the Parisian clay left Paolini, who was appearing in her first major final, with few opportunities to mount a challenge.
“Playing Swiatek in Paris is the toughest challenge in sport,” Paolini said in her post-match interview. Despite the defeat, the Italian expressed gratitude for the experience and pride in her rapid rise over the past year. “I really enjoyed playing today. Congratulations to you, Iga. You are doing a great job – world number one and many slams.”
Paolini thanked her team, family, and supporters, reflecting on the intense and rewarding journey to the final. “The best days of my life, I think. Tomorrow I have the doubles final. It’s been a very intense 15 days and I’m really happy to be here.”
Swiatek’s victory was met with widespread acclaim, as she continues to dominate the sport with her powerful and precise play. Her ability to perform at the highest level during Grand Slam finals sets her apart as a remarkable talent in women’s tennis.
The French Open has once again highlighted Swiatek’s prowess on clay, and her victory reinforces her legacy as one of the sport’s greats. As Paolini looks ahead to her doubles final, she can take pride in her achievements and the experience gained from competing against the world’s best.
