Top-seeded Iga Świątek, on Saturday, defeated American Cori "Coco" Gauff 6-1, 6-3 to win the women's singles final at the French Open Grand Slam tennis tournament in Paris.

Świątek, who is currently ranked world No. 1 by the Women's Tennis Association (WTA), defeated Gauff in straight sets to grab her second French Open title. She picked up her first grand slam title at Roland Garros in 2020 when she defeated American Sofia Kenin 6-4, 6-1.
