Here’s our report on Iga Swiatek’s crushing win.

And a preview of the men’s final where history of some sort awaits.

And so Iga Swiatek receives the Suzanne Lenglen trophy, the first coming only in October 2020, and she’s currently untouchable as the world’s best player. The Polish anthem rings out, and she seems to do her best not to cry.

[To Coco Gauff] First if all I want to congratulate you, I see you are improving every week, you will find it and you will be there. I am pretty sure of that. I want to thank my team. I am pretty happy as every piece has come together. I want to thank my dad for everything and my sister. Two years ago winning this was amazing. I feel i worked hard, and the pressure was big. I’d love to be back, and oh my god. It seems like I need some more experience of this. I want to say something to Ukraine, to stay strong, as the war is still there.
