Swiatek poses with the trophy in the locker room after winning the French Open final on Oct 10.
For a start she eschews the latest pop music trends and lists Pink Floyd, AC/DC and Santana as her favourite bands.Put her on a tennis court and the 19-year-old brings a cerebral and inventive style that is a refreshing change to the often pre-programmed games of some of her peers. Swiatek, the youngest French Open women’s winner since Monica Seles in 1992, dropped only 28 games in seven matches here, including a first-round win over 2019 runner-up Marketa Vondrousova and a last 16 trouncing of top seed Simona Halep.
Swiatek has a big spinning forehand but can also flatten it for extra zip and her use of angles and ability to spot an opening are a gift that coaches would love to bottle.
