Iga Swiatek Eyes Place Among Greats With Fourth French Open Crown

Iga Swiatek said she is "confident" ahead of her bid to become only the fourth woman to win four Roland Garros singles titles in the Open era. The world number one could also become the first player to lift three successive women's titles in Paris since Justine Henin in 2007 when the French Open gets underway on Sunday. Swiatek is a strong favourite after dominating on clay again this season, arriving in Paris off the back of WTA 1000 victories in Madrid and Rome.
