Iga Swiatek continues incredible win streak with victory over Ons Jabeur in Rome final

Iga Swiatek made it a remarkable 28 wins in a row after thrashing Ons Jabeur 6-2, 6-2 in the Italian Open final on Sunday.

The Polish world No 1 has now won five consecutive tournaments after dominating Jabeur from the start in Rome.

Swiatek, 20, is now overwhelming favourite to win her second French Open title when the next Grand Slam starts at Roland Garros in a week's time after impressively defending her crown in Italy.

Before then, she plans “to celebrate with a lot of tiramisu” following her latest victory in a run that has seen her drop just one set in 20 matches.

“I already know that I did some great stuff this season, so I feel like I can just play freely,” Swiatek said. “For sure the expectations around are higher, but I never had a problem to cut it off and not to think about it. Also I’m gaining experience at that.”

Swiatek is just the second player to win four or more WTA 1000 titles in a single season, after Serena Williams won five in 2013. “All these tournaments that I’ve won seem pretty surreal right now,” she added.
