Iga Swiatek won the French Open. The 19-year-old from Poland beat American Sofia Kenin to capture her first Grand Slam title.
Women’s tennis crowned its newest brilliant teenager on Saturday as 19-year-old Iga Swiatek won the French Open by defeating American Sofia Kenin, 6-4, 6-1.
Unseeded and practically unheard of before the tournament, Swiatek breezed through Roland-Garros so coolly that she would have been easy to miss. Over the seven matches she took to claim her first Grand Slam title, she spent under 8.5 total hours on court. When her championship finally came, fewer than 1,000 people witnessed it in person due to coronavirus restrictions.
