Reuters reports that Swiatek, the reigning queen of clay court tennis, continues to dominate at Roland Garros.

In a stunning display of dominance, Iga Swiatek claimed her third consecutive French Open title by defeating Jasmine Paolini in a lopsided final on Saturday. The 23-year-old Pole showcased her prowess on clay courts, extending her winning streak to 21 matches at Roland Garros.

Swiatek’s 6-2 6-1 victory not only secured her fifth Grand Slam title but also placed her in elite company alongside legends like Chris Evert, Monica Seles, and Justine Henin for the longest winning streaks at the French Open in the Open era. She became only the third woman to achieve a three-peat at Roland Garros, joining the ranks of Henin and Seles.

Reflecting on her remarkable achievement, Swiatek expressed her pride and gratitude for overcoming the pressure and expectations that come with being a top contender. The emotional win was a testament to her resilience and determination to succeed on the grand stage.

Paolini, who put up a valiant effort in her first Grand Slam final, acknowledged the formidable challenge posed by Swiatek’s aggressive style of play. The Italian player praised Swiatek’s ability to dictate the pace of the game and her remarkable success at such a young age.

As Swiatek basked in the glory of her triumph, she solidified her status as a dominant force in women’s tennis and a formidable opponent on the clay courts. With her sights set on further success, the world will be eagerly watching to see what the future holds for this talented champion.
