Iga Swiatek secured her place among tennis greats on Saturday as she joined an exclusive club of four-time women's French Open champions with a 6-2, 6-1 win over Jasmine Paolini.

The 23-year-old from Poland became only the fourth woman to win four Roland Garros singles titles in the Open era, joining Chris Evert, Steffi Graf and Justine Henin.

She is also the first player to claim three successive women's titles in Paris since Henin in 2007. Monica Seles was the first to do so, triumphing from 1990-92.
