Quickly done, very well done. Already victorious in 2020 in the autumn behind closed doors of the Covid, the Polish Iga Swiatek won Roland-Garros for the second time this Saturday afternoon. The world number 1 easily disposed of 18-year-old American Coco Gauff.
It took just half an hour for the 21-year-old Pole to win the first set 6-1. Probably impressed by the environment of her first Grand Slam final, the American did not manage to put her game down. She recovered her health in the second set to give the spectators on the center court time to Sit.
The Swiatek tornado, who now remains on a 35-game unbeaten streak, didn’t give him much time to breathe. The Pole won the second set 6-3 for a match that lasted 69 minutes. His reign at the head of women’s tennis is set to last a long time.
“I wanted to tell Coco not to cry. When I was her age, I was not at her level at all, confides the very moved winner as the storm rumbled above her. I thank all my team and my family who allowed me to be here. I worked hard to win, there was a lot of pressure. I am always motivated to come here to Paris and I look forward to coming back next time. I would also like to say to the Ukrainians to fight because the war is still there and to stay strong. I thought that after each of my matches, the situation there could improve but unfortunately it is not the case. »
