I almost two weeks, Jasmine Paolini had been serving up shock after shock in Paris.
However, it was the end of the winning streak in the final.
Polish world number one Iga Swiatek served up a cross, 6–2, 6–1, and took her fourth title in the French Open.
The 28-year-old Italian shocker started the final on the offensive and broke the world number one's serve until 2–1 in the first set.
After that, everything would depend on the 23-year-old Polish world number one – who, thanks to the victory, wrote history.
She is now the first player, man or woman, born after 1990 to have won five or more Grand Slam titles.
The victory in Paris is Swiatek's third in a row and her fourth overall. She also won the US Open in 2022.
In her acceptance speech, she mentioned the fact that she had a match ball against Naomi Osaka in the second round, but turned a 2–5 deficit in the decisive set.
With legends Martina Navratilova and Chris Evert as prize presenters, standing side by side next to her, she exclaimed several times "oh, god".
Jasmine Paolini, the 28-year-old Italian, has stunned the tennis world with her performance over the two weeks in Paris.
Before this season, Paolini had never gone further than the second round in any Grand Slam tournament.
