Swiatek says fourth French Open title ‘emotional’
Poland's Iga Swiatek kisses the trophy as she poses for media during the French Open tennis tournament at the Roland Garros stadium in Paris, June 9, 2024

IGA SWIATEK admitted her fourth French Open win on Saturday was “emotional” after emphatically keeping her Queen of Clay title at Roland Garros.

The world number one from Poland brushed aside Italian underdog Jasmine Paolini 6-2 6-1 in and hour and eight minutes.

King of Clay Rafael Nadal may have played his last French Open this year but Swiatek comprehensively proved once again she is also Roland Garros royalty.
