Swiatek broke Gauff's serve in the first game and raced out to a 4-0 lead before Gauff could catch her breath and get a hold to win her only game of the first set. Gauff was in her first Grand Slam final - it was the first time she'd advanced past the quarterfinals at a Grand Slam event - and while she'd played in some big matches before, this was much different against an opponent locked in from the first serve. I hope it's going to continue being like that.' and tennis-wise I also needed to be more aggressive and I've finally realized how to do that and it's all coming together. 'I needed to be here mentally and physically to be ready because I had many long matches during this time. Now on a 35-match win streak, tied with Venus Williams for the longest since 2000, Swiatek said she's looking forward to some rest after this win because of the grind of being on top. I felt baggage on my shoulders because I wasn't an underdog anymore and I'm even more proud that I could do it and that I could make it for the second time.' 'I feel like two years ago I was pretty lucky that I could be there and basically I was living kind of in a bubble for two weeks,' said Swiatek, the only Polish player to win a Grand Slam title. 1 player in the world is different than being a surprise winner and the lowest-ranked woman to ever win the event. Swiatek won the fall edition of the French Open in 2020 after it was postponed due to COVID-19 - and she told NBC Sports after this win why taking home the trophy as the No. She staked a dominant claim to that as she cruised to victory over Coco Gauff with a 6-1, 6-3 win in the final at Roland Garros in a match where she was almost never seriously challenged. While Iga Swiatek entered the final with a Grand Slam title in her trophy case already - and on a 34-match winning streak - the 21-year-old is still just coming into her own as one of the world's great players.

The 2022 French Open women's final represented a moment for the sport that could be called a changing of the guard.
