Two-Time Champs: The Five Players Who Have Proven Themselves at the French Open with Iga Swiatek

Iga Swiatek dropped only 10 points during her extraordinary double bagel victory over Anastasia Potapova at the French Open, but it wasn’t the first time that she has dished out a ruthless 6-0, 6-0 win at the French Open. Four-time Grand Slam winner Swiatek took just 40 minutes to defeat Potapova in the fourth round at Roland Garros on Court Philippe Chatrier. It was a remarkable match with Swiatek winning five games to leave in what, unsurprisingly, turned out to be the shortest match of her career. The 23-year-old, though, is far from the only player to achieve the feat in the Open Era as more than 20 have won a match by a 6-0, 6-0 scoreline in Paris. 7 staggering Iga Swiatek stats as the Pole loses just 10 points in brutal French Open whitewash The first-ever recorded 6-0, 6-0 win at the clay-court Grand Slam came one year after the start of the Open Era when Japan’s Sawamatsu defeated Belgian Monique Van Haver in 1969. The likes of Billie Jean King, Steffi Graf and Monica Seles have all achieved the feat, but they have done it only once. Graf, though, has the distinction of playing the shortest-ever match in Paris as she took only 32 minutes to beat Natasha Zvereva in a lopsided final in 1988. The pair played for nine minutes before an hour rain break and when they returned they played another 23 minutes before Graf won 6-0, 6-0.
