PARIS — In a stunning display of dominance, World No.1 Iga Swiatek claimed her third consecutive title at Roland Garros by defeating Jasmine Paolini in straight sets. The match started with Paolini winning two of the first three games, causing a buzz of excitement among the crowd at Court Philippe Chatrier. However, Swiatek quickly turned the tide by breaking Paolini at love and went on to win 10 straight games, ultimately defeating the Italian 6-2, 6-1 in just 68 minutes.
Swiatek’s victory solidified her status as a force to be reckoned with on the clay courts of Roland Garros. The 23-year-old from Poland now joins the ranks of tennis legends like Justine Henin and Monica Seles, becoming the only Open Era player to win each of her first four finals at the French Open.
With an impressive record of 21 consecutive wins at Roland Garros and 35 wins out of 37 career matches in Paris, Swiatek’s mastery of the red clay is unmatched. Her ability to control the geometry of the court and create unlikely angles with her shots has left opponents in awe.
As Swiatek continues to make history at Roland Garros, the tennis world is left wondering just how many titles she will ultimately claim at the prestigious tournament. With comparisons to the legendary Rafael Nadal already being made, Swiatek’s journey to greatness is well underway, and her legacy in the sport is only just beginning.
