PARIS: Iga Swiatek is so efficient, so smooth, with a racket in her hand, seemingly never flustered a bit and, for months now, never beaten. The only time she looked even the slightest bit shaken Saturday at Court Philippe Chatrier was after her 6-1, 6-3 victory against Coco Gauff in the final was finished, pushing the No.
PARIS: Iga Swiatek said she felt lucky when she won her first French Open title in 2020 but the world number one credits hard work for her second Grand Slam title on the Parisian clay.
Coco Gauff wept in her courtside chair, cried on the trophy podium and sobbed again in the press room as the US teenager admitted her French Open final defeat Saturday was a "lot to handle". Gauff, 18, and the youngest finalist at a major since Maria Sharapova at Wimbledon in 2004, was swept off court by world number one Iga Swiatek 6-1, 6-3 in just 68 minutes. After a tournament which had seen her celebrate her high school graduation and then win widespread praise for an impassioned plea to end gun violence in the United States, defeat to the Pole was a bitter end.
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.
PARIS : Iga Swiatek is dynamite on court and the fireworks have just started, her coach Tomasz Wiktorowski said on Saturday after the world number one clinched her second Grand Slam title at the French Open.
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.
Iga Swiatek received a standing ovation at Roland Garros on Saturday with an emotional "stay strong Ukraine" peace plea after winning her second French Open title.
