Iga Swiatek, defending champion, retains her trophy. The world number one beat the Czech Karolina Muchova (43rd) in a disputed final (6-2, 5-7, 6-4), at Roland-Garros, Saturday June 10. The Polish lifts the Suzanne-Lenglen Cup for the third time at just 22 years old. She is the first player to retain her Porte d’Auteuil title since Justine Henin in 2006 and 2007.
Third final at Roland-Garros for Iga Swiatek. The Pole played the fourth Grand Slam final of her career… and won it for the fourth time. In addition to Roland-Garros 2022 and 2023, she won for the first time on clay in Paris in 2020, as well as at the US Open in 2022. Iga Swiatek became the youngest player to reach her third final at Roland -Garros since Monica Seles (between 1990 and 1992).
For Karolina Muchova, “being in the Grand Slam final” was “a dream”. Karolina Muchova (43rd) served as a surprise guest at the Roland-Garros final after months of battling health issues and injuries. Passed close to a coronation in Paris, the Czech could not hold back her tears at the time of the trophy presentation.
Reunion at the top. Before Saturday, Iga Swiatek and Karolina Muchova had only been opposed once. It was in 2019 in Prague. Muchova, who had received an invitation, won in three sets in the first round against the Pole, who had then gone through the qualifications.
