Iga Swiatek ‘s remarkable run of dominance on the clay courts in Paris has continued after she routed first-time major finalist Jasmine Paolini to clinch her fourth Roland Garros title in the past five years

When Iga Swiatek is in her element on clay, it is almost as though she has entered a tennis version of The Matrix, and it will take an almighty performance from Italian Jasmine Paolini to deny her.

French Open finalist Alexander Zverev said he “never wanted to hear another question” about his trial over domestic abuse allegations after a German court dropped a case against him.

On the court his idol Rafael Nadal has owned for almost two decades, Carlos Alcaraz will seek to create history on Sunday in Paris when he plays for his first Roland Garros title.
