Iga Swiatek is a three-time Roland-Garros champion and a four-time major champion after defeating Karolina Muchova in Saturday’s final, 6-2, 5-7, 6-4.

Let’s have a look at the milestones cracked by the 22-year-old juggernaut today in Paris, by the numbers.

Tennis Express

1992 – Swiatek is the youngest player to win consecutive Roland-Garros women’s singles titles since Monica Seles in 1992.

3 – Swiatek is the third active women to have more than three Grand Slams singles titles on tour, along with Venus Williams (7) and Naomi Osaka (4).

2007 – The Pole is the first woman to successfully defend a Roland-Garros women’s singles title since Justine Henin in 2007. Six women have successfully the singles title in Paris: Margaret Court, Chris Evert, Stefanie Graf, Justine Henin, Monica Seles and Swiatek.

4 – Swiatek is the third woman in Open Era history to have won her first four major singles finals, along with Seles and Osaka.

22 – Having just turned 22, Swiatek is the youngest woman to have won her fourth major title since Serena Williams in 2002.

54-1 – Swiatek’s record when winning the opening set on clay. Only Karolina Muchova has defeated the Pole from a set down, way back in 2019.

28-2 – Swiatek’s lifetime record at Roland-Garros. The Pole’s 93.3 winning percentage on the terre batte of Paris is topped only by Margaret Court (95.5 percent) in a single Grand Slam in the Open Era.
