Iga Świątek dominates to win third consecutive French Open title

World No. 1 Iga Świątek has won her third straight French Open title with a commanding 6-2, 6-1 victory over Italy’s Jasmine Paolini, solidifying her dominance on clay.

This win marks Świątek’s fifth grand slam title and extends her winning streak at Roland Garros to 21 matches. She becomes the first woman since Justine Henin in 2007 to achieve three consecutive French Open titles, showcasing her prowess in a swift match that lasted just over an hour.

Despite Paolini taking an early lead, Świątek’s relentless performance quickly turned the tide, winning 10 consecutive games to seal the match. Świątek’s recent form has been impeccable, dropping only 17 games in her last five matches and maintaining a 19-match winning streak, including titles in Madrid, Rome, and now Paris.
