Polish tennis sensation Iga Swiatek denies Czech Karolina Muchova in a hard-fought 2023 French Open final for her third title win on Parisian clay in the last 4 years.
Poland’s Iga Swiatek continued her dominance on Parisian clay with a third French Open crown in the last four years, defeating unseeded Czech Karolina Muchova, 6-2, 5-7, 6-4 in a thrilling final to capture her fourth Grand Slam title on Saturday .
“First of all congratulations to Karolina,” Swiatek said. “I knew it would be a tough match. I hope you’re going to have many more finals. Congratulations to your team. I know how much teams are important I wouldn’t be here without my team. To my team, sorry for being such a pain in the… I’ll try to do better.”
The Czech, who prevailed the only time the pair faced off in Prague in 2019, launched herself into Swiatek’s second serve but sprayed far too many errors and allowed her opponent to go up a set in 44 minutes with another break. After breaking back to make it 5-5, Swiatek surrendered her serve again but saved two set points before Muchova pulled off a magical volley at full stretch to set up another and finally forced a decider.
