Iga Swiatek (54th in the world) became, on Saturday 10 October, the first Polish winner in a Grand Slam tournament, after her victory in the Roland-Garros final (6-4, 6-1) against the American Sofia Kenin.
19-year-old Iga Swiatek was playing her first major tournament final and hasn't lost a single set of the Fortnight.
It will therefore move up to 17th place in the WTA rankings on Monday.
