Iga Swiatek made history by winning her third consecutive French Open title and fourth overall at the young age of 23. In the final, she defeated Jasmine Paolini of Italy 6-2, 6-1, making her the first woman to three-peat at Roland Garros since Justine Henin in 2005-07. Swiatek also joined the ranks of Chris Evert, Steffi Graf, and Henin by winning her fourth French Open title in the professional era.
Swiatek’s victory at the French Open also marked her fifth Grand Slam singles title, adding to her 2022 U.S. Open crown. Her achievements place her in an elite group of women who have won five Slams in the open era, alongside Venus Williams. In 2020, Swiatek won her first French Open title without dropping a set and continued her streak of dominant performances in the following years. This year, she overcame a match point to secure her victory, defeating Naomi Osaka in the process.
On the other hand, Paolini’s journey to the final was unexpected, as she had never advanced past the second round of a major before. Her strong performance at the French Open will propel her to a higher ranking in the tennis world. The tournament concludes with the men’s singles final between Carlos Alcaraz and Alexander Zverev, airing live on NBC, NBCSports.com, and the NBC Sports app at 9 a.m. ET. The French Open plays a crucial role in Olympic tennis qualifying in Paris.
In conclusion, Iga Swiatek has made history by winning four consecutive French Open titles and joining an elite group of women who have won five Grand Slam singles titles in their career. Meanwhile, Jasmine Paolini has exceeded expectations by reaching his first Grand Slam final while Carlos Alcaraz and Alexander Zverev will face off for men’s singles championship.
