French Open Final: Iga Swiatek dominates Jasmine Paolini to win third straight title

Poland’s Iga Swiatek decisively defeated Italy’s Jasmine Paolini in straight sets to claim her third consecutive French Open women’s singles title on Saturday, June 8. Swiatek, the tournament’s top seed, secured her fourth French Open title in five years by beating Paolini 6-2, 6-1 in just over an hour. Throughout the tournament, Swiatek showcased her dominance on clay, dropping only one set.

As the favorite, Swiatek delivered an outstanding performance at Court Philippe-Chatrier, conceding only three games in the final match. She broke Paolini’s serve five times and lost her serve only once during the 58-minute contest. Swiatek also managed three love games, underscoring her control over the match.

During the entire tournament, Swiatek lost only one set, which was against Japan’s Naomi Osaka, where she also saved a match point. This victory marked her fifth Grand Slam title, with four of these coming at the French Open. Her only other Grand Slam victory was at the 2022 US Open.

Swiatek is now the first woman since Belgium’s Justine Henin in 2007 to win the French Open women’s title three times in a row. In the Open Era, only Chris Evert (7) and Steffi Graf (6) have more French Open women’s singles titles than Swiatek, who is now tied with Henin with four titles in Paris.

Swiatek’s next goal is to win the French Open for a fourth consecutive time in 2025, a feat only achieved by Suzanne Lenglen in the 1920s and Jeanne Matthey in the 1910s.

Attention now shifts to the French Open men’s singles final on Sunday, June 9, where Carlos Alcaraz and Alexander Zverev will compete for their first title on clay. The winner will become the fifth different player in the last two decades to claim the prestigious French Open men’s singles title, a tournament long dominated by Spain’s Rafael Nadal.
