Iga Świątek rules the world with Coco Gauff! Wojciech Fibak: I have one concern

A young phenom was no match for Iga Swiatek.

Swiatek, the top-ranked player in the world, defeated 18-year-old Coco Gauff in the French Open women’s final 6-1, 6-3 on Saturday.”Two years ago winning this title was something amazing,” said Swiatek, who is from Poland. “Honestly, I wouldn’t expect it ever. But this time, I feel like I worked hard and did everything to get here even though it was pretty tough. The pressure was big.”Swiatek made quick work of No. 18 Gauff, a Florida native attempting to become the youngest woman to win a Grand Slam since Maria Sharapova won at Wimbledon in 2004 at 17 years old. Gauff, the second youngest of the 128 players in the women’s draw, entered the final having not dropped a set during the French Open, albeit while avoiding a top-30 player until the final.

Swiatek jumped out to a 4-0 advantage before Gauff got on the board, following a shaky start, which included an early double fault. Swiatek attacked Gauff’s forehand, leading to nine of Gauff’s 14 unforced errors in the opening set.
