Top seed Iga Swiatek underlined why she was the red-hot French Open favourite by beating Coco Gauff in straight sets to win her second Grand Slam title.
Poland’s Swiatek, 21, won 6-1 6-3 against the American teenager to record her 35th straight victory – equalling the longest WTA streak this century.
Gauff, 18, was contesting her first major final and made a nervy start.
Swiatek, who also won Roland Garros in 2020, took full advantage and went on to win her sixth successive title.
By fighting back from a break down in the second set, Swiatek won the 54th of her past 56 sets.
She also maintained her streak of winning in finals, extending that record to nine in a row.
