Swiatek has a record of 55-7 with seven trophies in tour-level matches. Both of those figures are in the top spot. She is the first woman in two years to win two major titles in the same year.

Swiatek had her first match point on Saturday when she was leading 5-5 in the 2nd. Swiatek ran over to the sideline to change his rackets before the point started.

Swiatek missed a backhand and the match went to a tiebreak. Swiatek was a major champ again after taking the last three points.

She is the first African woman and the first Arab woman to reach a Grand Slam final. She was the runner up at Wimbledon in July.
