Iga Swiatek is unstoppable at the moment and continues to prove why she deserves to be the world&nbsp;no.1. The Polish superstar extended her winning streak to 35 matches with a stunning victory over American Coco Gauff in the women's singles final of the French Open 2022 on Saturday (June 04). It was a brilliant performance from Swiatek, who dominated the proceedings right from the start and demolished Gauff in straight sets to clinch her second French Open title.

Swiatek&nbsp;was always the favourite against 18-year-old Gaufee, who enjoyed a dream run at the French Open this year making it to the final. However, she was no match against the Polish star, who headed into the summit clash on the back of 34 consecutive wins in her last 34 matches. She dominated Gauff to clinch her 35th win on the trot.

Swiatek wrapped up the final inside just 68 minutes to win 6-1, 6-3 against the American at the Court Philippe Chatrier in Paris on Saturday. She has now equalled the record of Venus Williams for the longest winning streak by a woman in tennis in the 21st century.

Swiatek had arrived at the tournament two weeks ago as an overwhelming favourite considering her red hot form. And she proved many right in wit what was a clinical campaign with little or no setbacks. The Polish world no.1 stood tall and soaked in all the pressure to deliver once again on the big stage.

She has now won the French Open twice in just four years. It has been a remarkable rise for her since her first Roland Garros crown in 2020. She has now won an amazing six titles in a row but there seems no stopping the force that is Swiatek as she looks forward to creating history.

Swiatek has an incredible record at French Open having lost only twice so far in 23 matches at the Roland Garros. She has a win percentage of 91% which is the third-best in the history of the women's tournament. On Saturday, she completely outplayed Gauff on her way to her second title.

Swiatek claimed the first set comfortably inside 32 minutes before Gauff bounced back for a bit at the start of the second set. The American teenager raced to a 2-0 lead but Swiatek returned to close the game with perfection and finesse. She wrapped it up 6-3 leaving the American almost teary-eyed at the end.

World no.1 Iga Swiatek demolishes Coco Gauff in straight sets to win second French Open title

Coco Gauff says she has "nothing to lose" in Saturday's French Open final against world number one Iga Swiatek, with her opponent on a 34-match winning streak and looking for a second Roland Garros title. Teenage star Gauff is the youngest Grand Slam finalist since Maria Sharapova at Wimbledon 18 years ago and only graduated from high school while in Paris.

The 18-year-old has yet to drop a set in the tournament and showed few signs of nerves in her first major semi-final with a 6-3, 6-1 win over Martina Trevisan.

But she is the underdog against Poland's Swiatek, who will equal Venus Williams' record for the longest women's unbeaten run in the 21st century if she lifts the trophy.

"I think going in I have nothing to lose and she's definitely the favourite going into the match on paper," said American Gauff, who burst onto the scene by making the Wimbledon fourth round as a 15-year-old in 2019.

"I'm just going to play free and play my best tennis. I think in a Grand Slam final anything can happen.

"If I do lift the trophy, honestly, I don't think my life is going to change really. I know it sounds kind of bad to say that, but the people who love me are still going to love me regardless if I lift the trophy or not."

Swiatek, who herself only turned 21 on Tuesday, has enjoyed a remarkable season and is looking for a sixth successive title. The 2020 French Open champion's 6-2, 6-1 semi-final thrashing of Daria Kasatkina saw her draw level with Serena Williams' career-best winning streak from 2013.

"It's going to be tough (for her opponent)," said Russian Kasatkina after seeing her run comprehensively ended by the top seed.

"I think the mental part is going to, especially at the beginning, make a big difference.

"It's difficult when the player is moving good and then she can transition to attack mode. Then it makes it really, really tough."

Swiatek has an excellent French Open record and has become the youngest player to win 20 matches at Roland Garros since Martina Hingis in 1999. Four of Swiatek's five tournament victories this year have come at the prestigious WTA 1,000 events, but she says she still has to battle nerves before big matches.

"I couldn't get rid of the expectations fully (in the semi-finals), but I tried to accept that, that they are going to be there and it's going to stress me a little bit more," said Swiatek, who is hoping to become the 10th multiple Roland Garros winner in the Open era.

Gauff wrote "peace, end gun violence" on a courtside TV camera after her semi-final victory and has said she wants to speak out about issues off the court.

Swiatek, though, does not think she is ready yet to use her profile to talk about political or social issues.

"I don't actually know how I want to use my platform," she said. "I haven't figured it out yet, because it's still pretty new for me.

"I feel like I really have to focus on my tennis first. When I'm going to get more experience in life generally I think it's going to be easier for me to choose the right path."

The Pole has won both of her career meetings with Gauff -- in the 2021 Rome semi-finals and in Miami earlier this year.

"I'm pretty happy that she's doing well, because I think she's also had a huge amount of pressure in her life," Swiatek said of Gauff, who is also into the women's doubles final alongside Jessica Pegula.

"When I see her, I tend to forget that she's 18."

Swiatek says she listens to classic rock music, including Led Zeppelin and AC/DC, before stepping onto court, while Gauff enjoys a hardcore rap playlist.

But there won't be a clash of styles on Court Philippe Chatrier as both players have a game based on hard-hitting from the baseline. With a combined age younger than the injured Serena Williams, this could be the first Grand Slam chapter of a long rivalry at the top of the women's game.
