Iga finds herself in pole position
Iga Swiatek sealed victory in the women's final yesterday and has been enjoying her win in the French capital today.
In a tight match where she won the first set before Muchova then immediately won the second set to draw level, Swiatek showed the nerve to take the third set 6-4.
Having worked so hard for the win, now she can bask in the glory of her victory.

Final with all to play for
Both players have not been in inspiring for coming into this tournament and neither was seen as a sure thing for the title.
Djokovic has had some injury concerns and historically has found the French Open a tough nut to crack.
However, having made it to the final, he is heavy favourite to secure another major honour on the ATP tour.

Welcome to the French Open final 2023
Djokovic will make history today if he does as many expect and seal the title for a third time.
He will become a 23 time Grand Slam champion and usurp Rafael Nadal in the tournament he couldn't play due to injury.
One final swansong is expected from Nadal next year, but when it comes to Djokovic he is not letting up.
The head to head paints a very one sided tale including on clay with two wins for Djokovic in Rome in 2020 and 2022 and also two wins at the ATP Finals.
Of course the latter was a final loss to Djokovic and both aren't over the best of five format but it shows why Djokovic is favourite for the final.
Pressure will be on Djokovic with the record at stake and it will be an enthralling encounter with Ruud looking to win the tournament for the first time.
