Iga Swiatek battled past Karolina Muchova 6-2, 5-7, 6-4 to win her third French Open title on Saturday and become the first woman to successfully defend the Roland Garros title since 2007.
The 22-year-old Swiatek is just the third woman in the Open era to win each of her first four Grand Slam finals, with the Pole adding to her 2020 and 2022 titles in Paris and last year's U.S. Open triumph.
Muchova, the fourth-lowest-ranked women's finalist ever in Paris, fought back from a set and 3-0 down, and twice led Swiatek by a break in the decider before her fate was sealed with a double fault on match point.
