Iga Swiatek

World No. 1 Iga Swiatek clinched her second Grand Slam title which is also her second French Open title as she defeated teen sensation 18-year old Coco Gauff in the finals of the 2022 French Open. Swiatek won the finals 6-1, 6-3 in just 68 minutes to win the major and solidify her place at the top of the WTA rankings.

Swiatek dropped just 1 set throughout the tournament on her way to the title for which she was the heavy favourite given her brilliant run that began in February and has seen her win six consecutive titles which include a Grand Slam, four WTA-1000 titles and a WTA-500 title in a run of 35 consecutive wins in what has been an explosive and dominant run that gives an indication it is Iga against the rest of the field.
