The Polish Iga Swiatek, world number 1, easily beat her American counterpart Coco Gauff in the women’s final of Roland Garros in two sets ( 6-1 , 6-3 ) this Saturday, June 4, 2022 in Paris after 1h08 of play. The 21 year old player now has 2 French Open titles (2020-2022).
In great shape since the beginning of the competition, Iga Swiatek made only one bite of Coco Gauff by winning easily in two sets (6-1 , 6-3 ).
She has now won her ninth title in her career, matching Venus Williams’ 35th in a row and her sixth in a row this year (Doha, Indians Wells, Miami, Stuttgart and Rome).
During the fortnight of the French Open, the current leader of women’s tennis lost only one set. That was in the round of 16 against Qinwen Zheng of China.
Although impressive, Iga Swiatek still has a long way to go to break Martina Navratilova’s record of 74 straight wins. Coco Gauff, on the other hand, will be ranked 13th in the world on Monday. Her best career ranking so far.
