The 19-year-old Polish Iga Swiatek sensationally won the French Open and celebrated her first Grand Slam title. Swiatek, who entered the tournament as number 54 in the world, defeated the Australian Open winner Sofia Kenin (USA) 6: 4, 6: 1 in the final on Saturday and was crowned the first Polish Grand Slam champion in singles. At the same time, she is the youngest French Open winner since Monica Seles in 1992.
With the triumph of Roland Garros, Swiatek, who became the first player since Belgian Justine Henin in 2007 to remain without a set loss in the entire tournament, won 1.6 million euros in prize money and climbed to 17th place in the world rankings. Defending champion Ashleigh Barty (Australia) did not appear in Paris that year.
