Iga Swiatek has won her third French Open title after beating a spirited Karolina Muchova in three sets.
The world number one was the overwhelming favourite to win her fourth Grand Slam but was made to battle, ultimately winning out 6-2 5-7 6-4. Swiatek, who lifted the title in 2020 and 2022, quickly assumed control of the final winning the first set 6-2.
And the second looked to be following the same pattern as the Pole ran into a 3-0 lead in the second, only for Muchova to finally find her feet. Appearing in her first ever slam final, she broke Swiztek’s serve for the first time to bring the scores back to 3-3 before moving into a 5-4 lead on the back of a double fault from her illustrious opponent.
