Swiatek has won every WTA 1000 tournament she has contested this season.

Having swept the titles in Doha, Indian Wells and Miami, Swiatek has now won every WTA 1000 tournament she has contested this season and will be the favourite to add to her 2020 French Open success when the Grand Slam tournament begins next week.

"Today I'm going to celebrate with a lot of tiramisu, no regrets," said Poland's Swiatek, who collapsed on the red clay at Foro Italico and broke down in tears after securing the title. Jabeur tested her 20-year-old opponent at 4-2 but Swiatek dug herself out of a 0-30 hole to hold from deuce and take the game before wrapping up the set on her second set point when the Tunisian whipped a forehand into the net.
