Results Finals :

Women' s Singles : Iga Swiatek won her first WTA tournament in career, defeating Sofia Kenin (4) 6-4, 6-1 after 1h 24'

In first set, Swiatek starts better, going 3-0, but, in fifth game, she complicates her life by committing four unforced errors, including a double fault, and returns the break. Kenin regains courage and hangs up on 3 all, then, in eighth game, at the third opportunity, the 19-year-old from Warsaw breaks her opponent's again, going
5-3, in the very next game, however, after missing a set-point, she lose again her serve, but in tenth game, Swiatek closes the set 6-4 after 50', with too many errors on both sides; in second set, is Kenin to start with a break advantage, however, the 21-year-old from Pembroke Pines, Florida (born in Moscow) immediately gets broken back, then, on 2-1 for Swiatek, Kenin asks for a medical time-out for a left leg problem and, when she comes back, the problem seems really serious, since she looks unable to run normally : Swiatek does not get distracted and, with a 17-3 points partial, goes 5-1, closing then the match 6-1 at first match-point, winning the tournament without losing a single set and losing only 28 games in 7 matches and becoming the second non-seeded player to win the French Open (after Jelena Ostapenko in 2017) and the first Polish player, man or woman, to win a Grand Slam trophy.
