The likes of Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, Carlos Alcaraz and others have congratulated Iga Swiatek for her historic 2024 French Open title.

Polish tennis star Iga Swiatek defeated Italy’s Jasmine Paolini 6-2, 6-1 in the 2024 French Open final to win her fourth Roland-Garros title in the last five years. In 2020, she became the first Polish tennis player to win a Grand Slam title and since then, she has never looked back.

Swiatek has been an astounding force on the red dirt and she’s currently on a 21-match unbeaten streak at Stade Roland Garros. She lost her last match in Paris during the 2021 French Open quarter-finals against Greek tennis star Maria Sakkari in straight sets.
