Iga Swiatek poses with the trophy after winning the final match of the French Open today.
The unseeded 19-year-old, who did not drop a set throughout the claycourt tournament, is the youngest winner since Monica Seles lifted the Suzanne Lenglen Cup in 1992. “Two years ago I won a junior Grand Slam and now I’m here.
