Iga Swiatek has class.
After easily winning her second title at Roland-Garros (after 2020) by outclassing the American Coco Gauff (6-1, 6-3), the Pole made a nice winner's speech.
The one who wears a ribbon in the colors of Ukraine on her cap since the invasion of Russia, has not forgotten to pay tribute to the neighboring country of Poland.
It's your moment, @iga_swiatek đź’Ż#RolandGarros |
