Iga Swiatek, the World No. 1, secured her third consecutive French Open title and fourth overall at Roland Garros by defeating No. 12 seed Jasmine Paolini 6-2, 6-1. This victory marks Swiatek's fifth Grand Slam title. At 23 years and 8 days old, she becomes the youngest player in the Open Era to win four Women's Singles titles at Roland Garros.

She joins Hall of Famers Monica Seles and Justine Henin as the only women in the Open Era to win the French Open three consecutive years. Additionally, she is the first player to win Madrid, Rome, and Roland Garros in the same year since Serena Williams. Notably, Swiatek saved a match point against Naomi Osaka in the second round.
