Iga Świątek was nearly flawless en route to winning the 2023 French Open singles title.
The Polish world No. 1 only dropped one set over the span of two weeks to capture the red clay slam. The 22-year-old is now a four-time Grand Slam singles winner -- with three of the titles coming out of Roland Garros.
Świątek's defeated Karolína Muchová 6-2, 5-7, 6-4 on Saturday in nearly 2 hours and 45 minutes of highs and lows.
Świątek came out strong, grabbing an early 3-0 lead before Muchová, who was in her first Grand Slam final, rallied to stay in the set.
In the second set, Świątek again went up 3-0 but this time Muchová found it within her to fight back and win the set.
