World No. 1 Iga Swiatek steamrolled her opponents to win her 2nd French Open title. The Polish superstar defeated 18-year-old American 18th seed Coco Gauff 6-1, 6-3 in a one-sided women's singles final at the Philippe Chatrier in Paris on Saturday, Iga Swiatek, who had become the first Pole to win a Grand Slam singles title when she lifted the Suzanne-Lenglen Cup in 2020, won her 2nd Roland Garros crowd in 3 years. Swiatek needed just an hour and 8 minutes to comfortably outclass Coco Gauff, who looked bogged down by the sense of occasion in front of a packed Paris crowd.

Iga was on top of her serving game in the final, winning 73 percentage points on first serve when compared to Gauff's 46 percent. The American teenager made 23 unforced errors in the big final as she looked jittery throughout the contest. Gauff will have the opportunity to win the women's doubles trophy on Sunday as she pairs up with compatriot Jessica Pegula. The 8th seeds will take on lower-ranked French pairing of Kristina Mladenovic and Caroline Garcia.
