Iga Swiatek's stunning run to the 2020 Roland Garros title was equal parts domination and decimation. The 19-year-old capped off her statement-making fortnight with a 6-4, 6-1 win over reigning Australian Open champion Sofia Kenin in Saturday's final to win her maiden title and become Poland's first Grand Slam champion. Swiatek did not lose a set through seven matches, won 75% of the games she played, and broke serve in 70% of her return games. In all, the Polish phenom dropped just 28 games en route to the title.
"Even though you're really young and you're an underdog, you can do a lot in a sport like tennis," Swiatek told reporters after her win. "On one hand it's pretty inspiring. Sometimes I caught myself visualizing that I'm also winning a Grand Slam. But on the other hand, it was also really far away. Right now I'm here and I'm a Grand Slam champion. It's crazy."
"You believe in things, but in the back of your head you know that there's going to be a huge amount of work that you have to do to win that. Then after two weeks of great playing, you already have it. It's just overwhelming."
