Iga starts the final badly against Paolini, but then redeems himself in the first set
A Roland Garros final balanced only at the start, with Paolini good at putting pressure on her opponent by playing her tennis. As the games went by, however, Iga emerged, and after escaping a danger to start with the counterbreak she moved forward easily, breaking the Italian’s serve twice more. 6-2 for a first set that as the games went by proved to be without history.
Second set easier for Swiatek, Paolini surrenders 6-1
The second partial did not show any particular innovations, on the contrary. Swiatek proved to be a block even when Paolini managed to extend the exchange. Iga’s initial break to put the matter on hold, and get his hands on a set that was then closed with the result of 6-1. A score that says a lot about the difference in values on the pitch.
Sinner is the new world number 1 in tennis! Djokovic withdraws from Roland Garros
19th consecutive seasonal victory for the world number one, who last lost on April 20 in Stuttgart, the 21st considering only the Roland Garros. Exceptional show of strength for Swiatek against a Paolini team who failed to play on par after a balanced start.
Prediction therefore confirmed in Paris, with Paolini still leaving Roland Garros with his head held high, aware of having played an exceptional tournament full of satisfaction. Just a great Swiatek he could put an end to his ride.
