Successfully defending the French Open women's singles championship, Sviatek defeats the famous Mukhova | Women's Singles | French Open
The 2023 French Open women's singles final was held on the 10th local time, and the top seed and Polish player Sviatek defeated Czech player Mukhova to successfully defend their women's singles championship.
22-year-old Sviatek fully demonstrated the strong strength of the top seeded player during this year's French Open, and advanced to the finals with an impressive record of not losing a set. In the 2022 French Open women's singles competition, she only lost one set to Chinese player Zheng Qinwen. 26 year old Mukhova is not a seeded player, but she defeated the second seeded Belarusian player Sabarenka in the semi-finals and advanced to the finals.
In the first set of the final, Sviatek took the lead and remained in a leading position in the score. Mukhova failed to effectively break the suppressed situation, and Sviatek won the first set 6-2. The scene of her quickly winning two consecutive sets and winning the championship in the last French Open women's singles final seems to be happening again.
In the second set of the match, Sviatek was leading 3-0 at one point, and the victory seemed to be waving towards her. The situation on the field suddenly reversed at this moment, and Mukhova regained her fighting spirit, scoring consecutive points, demonstrating her confidence in dealing with Sabarenka in the semi-finals. Sviatek failed to seize the opportunity and lost the game 5-7 at the end of the game. This is the only match she lost in this year's French Open women's singles competition.
In the decisive match between the two, Sviatek did not start smoothly and was suppressed by Mukhova. Under immense pressure, Sviatek turned from defense to attack, and under a powerful attack, Mukhova made many mistakes. Sviatek won the decisive set with a score of 6:4 and won the entire game with a total score of 2-1. The entire game took 2 hours and 46 minutes.
Sviatek has won the French Open women's singles championship for the third time since 2020 and 2022. The outside world speculates that she may replicate the achievements of Belgian superstar Henin in the future, winning the French Open women's singles championship for multiple consecutive times.
On June 11th, the French Open will welcome the men's singles final, where Serbian star Djokovic will face Norwegian star Rudd. In the women's doubles final on the 11th, "Strait Team" Wang Xinyu and Xie Shuwei will face off against the combination of Canadian player Fernandez and American player Thompson.
