World No 1 Iga Swiatek claimed her second French Open title after defeating American teenager Coco Gauff to equal the longest unbeaten streak this century.

Swiatek swept aside 18-year-old American Gauff 6-1 6-3 in an hour and eight minutes on Court Philippe Chatrier. Elevated to world No 1 following Ashleigh Barty's shock retirement in March, the Pole has proved an unstoppable force ever since.

After receiving the Suzanne-Lenglen cup, Swiatek said: "First I want to congratulate you [Gauff] because you are doing an amazing job. "You are progressing all the time.

You will find it and you will be there, I am pretty sure of that. "I want to thank my team, you guys, I mean, oh my god, without you I wouldn't be here, I'm sure of that.
