Perfection in Paris: Iga Swiatek's unbeaten run fetches her second French Open title

Iga Swiatek did one better. The 21-year-old went right ahead and rained a storm of winners to claim her second French Open crown. As Coco Gauff’s return floated over the baseline a little after tea time on Saturday, Swiatek whipped around and faced her box before going down on the clay. Her face buried in the palm of her hand. The Pole’s team – coach Tomasz Wiktorowski, mental coach Daria Abramowicz, trainer Maciej Ryszczuk and her Olympian dad Tomasz Swiatek -- rose to their feet to applaud the most dominant player in tennis today. At the other end of the packed-to-the rafter venue, Gauff, who was in her first Grand Slam final, dropped heavily on a courtside seat, sobbing silently. Tears ran down the 18-year-old’s cheeks unabated.
