Paris (AP) – With her 35th win in a row, the Pole Iga Swiatek won the title at the French Open. The Pole won the final in Paris against the American Coco Gauff 6: 1, 6: 3 and thus celebrated the second Grand Slam title of her career.
In 2020, the world number one had already won the classic clay court on the Bois de Boulogne facility. After an outstanding performance, Swiatek only needed 68 minutes to succeed against Gauff.
Lewandowski and Schweinsteiger in the stands
Her compatriot Robert Lewandowski also cheered her on from the stands. The Bayern striker, who was willing to change, watched the final from the stands, as did ex-world champion Bastian Schweinsteiger and his wife Ana Ivanovic.
Gauff still has another chance for a title in doubles on Sunday. Then she and her compatriot Jessica Pegula meet the two French Caroline Garcia and Kristina Mladenovic.
Angelique Kerber was the last German to be eliminated in the third round of the second Grand Slam tournament of the season. The French Open remains the only Grand Slam tournament that the German number one has not yet won.
Gauff started extremely nervous in the first Grand Slam final of her career. The 18-year-old American did a lot of easy and initially found no rhythm. Gauff made it into the final without losing a single set and improved from round to round at the Stade Roland Garros.
