PARIS—Iga Swiatek is unbeaten since February and sure looks unbeatable at the moment, now a two-time champion at the French Open.
Coco Gauff, appearing in her first Grand Slam final at just 18, never stood much of a chance, like most opponents against Swiatek lately.
The top-ranked Swiatek beat Gauff 6–1, 6–3 in the final at Roland Garros on Saturday, adding to her 2020 trophy there and stretching her winning streak to 35 matches.
