Iga Swiatek cemented her status as the world's No 1 female tennis player by winning a second French Open title in three years - and then was asked a question about her make-up.

Swiatek was too strong for Coco Gauff in the final, beating the American teenager 6-1 6-3, and extending her winning run to 35 in the process.

It's the joint-longest winning streak by a women's player in the 21st century along with Venus Williams, who had achieved the feat in 2000.

And at the age of 21, the Polish star now sits on two Slam titles following her success at Roland Garros in 2020. But afterwards, for one reporter it wasn't just her supreme display in Paris that was up for discussion, but rather the efforts she put into looking good on court.
