Roland Garros / French Open 2023 [Women] - Grand Slam

[the AntiPusher]

Muchova better retrieve her first serve or it's Au revoir!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Muchova serving 4-5 all the pressure is back on Muchova

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Iga with 2 CH points

 

[the AntiPusher]

She needs the wide flat serve on the ad side

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Iga does it wins her RG her 3rd time in Paris and now 4-0 in GS finals defeating Muchova 62 67 64

 

[Moxie]

There it is. Her idol Nadal got one that ended on opponent DF, too. Well-played from Muchova, though.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

What a fight from Muchova well done you pushed Iga all the way, well done!

 

[Jelenafan]

Hey well Swiatek impressed me with gutting out a win under real pressure.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

BTW this is the first successful defence from Iga at RG since Henin in 2007

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Hopefully if Muchova can stay healthy she should be one to watch in the grass season

 

[the AntiPusher]

Big mistake by Muchova. She should have stayed with the wide flat serve to the add court.. whenever you are down e.g. 15-30 , you always want to stay with the serve that opens up the court to force your opponent off the court and get a easier ball that you can take control of.

 

[the AntiPusher]

Muchova is putting Iga on a yoyo string ..very smart tennis . Iga is gonna have to dig deeper and try can summon her inner belief that she is a Rafa type of warrior

Well

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

So hard to defeat Iga on this surface she down she just goes clutch and wins, she is an incredible player on clay, reminds me of Henin in a lot of ways

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Muchova will be ranked No 16 after Paris, her best career ranking to date

there should be a rule to take off your cap during the trophy ceremony.

Chris Evert handing out the trophies

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Stats for Iga,
Iga winning 3 French titles after just turning 22 is crazy
In the Open Era, only Seles has won 3 titles at that age ( at 18 years no less)
Iga joins, Seles, Osaka as the only players to go 4-0 in their first 4 slam finals

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Lovely speech from Karolina thanking her coach, friends and family

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

This is what I love about RG they play the winners national anthem, Polish national anthem being played now

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Nice speech from Iga thanking her team and family, and her friends that came from Poland to see her play
Iga also said to Karolina she loves the variety in her game, wishes her well for the rest of the year
