Winning in Paris might seem to come easily to Iga Swiatek, who has now lifted the trophy at Roland-Garros an incredible three times at just 22 years of age.
But she was made to work hard for her moment of triumph this time around, with Karolina Muchova the first player to take a set off the Pole in any of her Grand Slam finals to date.
Swiatek looked far more overcome with emotion at match point than she did last year, clutching her face in disbelief before dissolving into tears and dropping to her knees.
After congratulating her opponent, she made straight for her player box, the tears still flowing, to celebrate her win with her family.
