* On a sunny but temperate afternoon at the Stade Roland Garros in Paris, Poland’s Iga Swiatek breezed to her fourth French Open championship title, defeating 12th seed Jasmine Paolini of Italy 6-2, 6-1. The match was over in just 68 minutes.

* With her victory, Swiatek-who entered today’s final on a hot streak, having won 18 consecutive matches on clay and 20 consecutive matches at Roland-Garros-has become only the fourth woman in history, after Chris Evert, Steffi Graff, and Justine Henin, to win the French four times. She also becomes the first woman to win any major three times in a row since Serena Williams’s 2012-2014 run at the US Open.
