French Open: Poland defeats Canin to become champion, makes history

PARIS: Poland's 19-year-old Iga Schwartz made history by defeating Sofia Canin in the final of the French Open women's singles on Saturday. This is his first title at the tour level. Non-Rank Swayatek won the match 6-4, 6-1 in a row against Australian Open champion Canin. She became the first woman in Poland to win a Grand Slam in the singles category.

After this glorious and memorable victory, he said, 'This is marvelous. Two years ago I won a Junior Grand Slam and is here now. It looks like this has happened in a short time. ' "I'm overwhelmed by this," he said. This is only Swayatek's 7th major tournament and she has never advanced to the fourth round before. She is the only non-ranked player to have won the title since Justin Henin in 2007.

During the seven matches of the tournament, he lost in only 28 games. He is the first 'teen (up to 19)' player since 1997 to win the title after Eva Majoli. During her title campaign, Swiatke defeated 2018 champion Simona Halep and 2019 runners-up Marketa Vendrosova in a one-sided bout.

Canin, 21, of the United States, failed to repeat the success of her Australian Open. He said after the match, 'Great tournament. Great match. '
