PARIS : American teenager Coco Gauff was still struggling to hold back the tears hours after losing the French Open final to Poland's Iga Swiatek on Saturday and said her opponent, who is on a 35-match winning streak, was in a different league.
Poland striker Robert Lewandowski has spoken of his joy at seeing his compatriot, Iga Swiatek, triumph at the French Open after her victory over Coco Gauff. The all-conquering world No. 1 followed up her 2020 triumph at Roland-Garros in style after beating the prodigiously-talented American in straight sets, 6-1 6-3, on Saturday afternoon.
Iga Swiatek, the world number one who on Saturday won her second French Open title, has displayed a fighting spirit since her early days hammering balls on Warsaw's tennis courts. "She was a little kid who really wanted to learn how to play as quickly as possible, and once she did, what mattered most to her was winning," said Artur Szostaczko, her first coach. "She was a fighter... I knew that if it went to a super tiebreak, there was no need to worry -- Iga wouldn't crack under the pressure," the 51-year-old told AFP.
The Indian men's team began its campaign in the inaugural FIH Hockey 5s with a 4-3 win over hosts Switzerland before playing out a pulsating 2-2 draw against arch-rivals Pakistan on Saturday. The Indian women's team, however, had a bad day in office, losing both its matches against Uruguay (3-4) and Poland (1-3). The men's team, led by Gurinder Singh, dished out an impressive show of fitness, skill and speed in the opening match with Raheel Mohammed scoring two field goals in the second and 10th minutes.
Newly crowned French Open champion Iga Swiatek urged Ukraine to "stay strong" following the invasion by Russia.
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.
Iga Swiatek received an ovation for thanking her family, her team and praising Coco Gauff after winning the 2022 French Open, but the biggest cheer during her victory speech came when she sent a message of support to Ukraine.
