Entering the final as the favourite to win the title, Swiatek was at her fluent best at Court Philippe-Chatrier as she dropped only three games in the entire match to win the French Open women’s singles title. The Polish sensation broke her opponent's serve on five occasions in the match while losing her serve only once throughout the 58-minute contest. With three love games, Swiatek showcased her dominance over the match and clinched her latest title.
She also becomes the first woman since Belgian’s Justine Henin in 2007 to win the French Open women’s title on a third consecutive occasion. In the Open Era, only Chris Evert (7) and Steffi Graf (6) have won more French Open women’s singles titles than Swiatek while she is now level with Henin for four titles in Paris.
Swiatek’s next target will be to win the French Open on a fourth consecutive occasion in 2025 with only Suzanne Lenglen in the 1920s and Jeanne Matthey in the 1910s to have achieved the rare feat.
The eyes will now turn to the French Open men’s singles final which takes place on Sunday as both Carlos Alcaraz and Alexander Zverev try to win their first title on the Clay Court. The winner will also become just the fifth different player in the last two decades to win the prestigious French Open men’s singles title which had seen a major dominance by Spain’s Rafael Nadal.
