Iga Swiatek Wins French Open By Beating Sofia Kenin

Polish teenager Iga Swiatek completed a stunning rise by becoming the lowest-ranked woman to win the French Open after beating American Sofia Kenin.

Swiatek, 19, is a former junior Wimbledon champion but the world number 54's rise to Roland Garros history has been swift and surprising.

She showed few nerves to beat fourth seed Kenin 6-4 6-1, lifting the trophy without losing a set in the tournament.

"I don't know what is going on, I'm so happy," a smiling Swiatek said.

Swiatek is the first player from Poland to win a Grand Slam singles title.
