Swiatek, the 2020 French Open champion, got her consecutive win No. 35, matching the best run this century, a record held by Venus Williams. More importantly, it gave her a second Grand Slam title and cemented her status as the undisputed world No. 1. Gauff, ranked No. 18 in the world, entered her first Grand Slam final after a dream run where she did not drop a set.

Swiatek is celebrating her dominant victory with her family and team in her box, and she ran over to them immediately after the match. With her win, she is now the youngest woman since Maria Sharapova in 2006 to win multiple majors and the first woman since Justine Henin in 2004 to win the first major she played after reaching No. 1. — D'Arcy Maine
