Beautiful tennis player Iga Swiatek successfully defended her French Open championship title.

Before the French Open women's singles final, all predictions of victory were in favor of Swiatek, who had won the title twice here in 2020 and 2022. In addition, the title at the 2022 US Open showed that the 22-year-old Polish player was too strong. Meanwhile, the 26-year-old Muchova was considered a "dark horse" in this year's tournament when she had an impressive victory over world number 2 Aryna Sabalenka (Belarus) in the semi-finals.

Two players before entering the women's singles final

As expected, the world number 1 tennis player started very well against Muchova. With accurate shots and good movement on the clay court, Swiatek quickly took a 3/0 lead. Although Muchova was determined to find a goal to shorten the score, the Czech tennis player could only shorten the score to 2/4 before losing 2/6 in the first set.

Swiatek proved superior to Muchova in the final

Going into the next set, it seemed like Swiatek would continue to create a one-sided game when she took an early 3/0 lead. However, Muchova suddenly "rebounded" with stronger and more accurate shots to equalize the score 3/3. At this point, the final match became more tense as both sides clung to the points and Muchova was the one who created the surprise with a 7/5 victory to bring the match back to the starting line.

In the deciding set, Muchova continued to play with excitement to lead 2-0. Swiatek was still the one to follow and the chase for points continued to be created. With more stability in her shots, Swiatek finally won the third set with a score of 6-4 after Muchova's serve error.

Muchova played explosively but could not create a surprise against Swiatek.

With a 2-0 victory over Muchova after 2 hours and 47 minutes of play, Swiatek won her third French Open title and her fourth Grand Slam title. This victory also helped Swiatek become the first woman to successfully defend a title since Justine Henin won three consecutive titles from 2005 to 2007. In addition, the Polish player also became the youngest woman to win consecutive titles in Paris since Monica Seles won three consecutive titles from 1990 to 1992.

Swiatek lifted the French Open trophy for the third time

Although she could not beat the world No. 1 player in the final, this was considered a very successful tournament for Muchova and she will rise to 16th place in the WTA rankings with her runner-up performance at the 2023 French Open.
