Women: #1 Iga Swiatek Makes History With 4th Consecutive Slam Finals Win at Roland Garros

Iga Swiatek’s recent run of slams continued on Saturday with her third French Open crown (in the last 4 years) and fourth grand slam overall, but it didn’t come without a fight. The Cinderella story of Karolina Muchova (42nd-ranked) pushed Swiatek deep into a three-set finale. Muchova won four games in a row in the second set, but it’s still Swiatek’s time at the top of women’s tennis. The Polish star has now won all four of her finals appearances in grand slams to open her career. She’s just 22 years old.
