Swiatek vs Muchova Final Highlights | Roland-Garros 2023 

I'm Polish, so of course I couldn't be happier that Iga won, but all the respect to Karolina as well. She showed an enormous fighting spirit, she gave it all. Congratulations Karolina, you can be proud of yourself 👏

Iga Swiatek is the first WTA player to defend her Grand Slam since Serena at Wimbledon 2016. That’s significant. Congratulations, Iga!

Haters will keep on finding new reasons to pull her down, while she just keeps on climbing the stairs to become a player to be remembered

Being Polish-American, I'm very happy for Iga winning her fourth grand slam and third Roland Garros title. She's also an excellent person and ambassador for both tennis and for Poland. Gotta admit that while I knew of how talented Karolina Muchova was, this was the first time I've watched a full match of hers and she won herself a new fan. Her game is awesome, and like Iga, she's a first class person all the way. Hope she can eventually win a slam someday.

Congratulations to Iga on the 4th Grand Slam title 👏But I would like to separately note the game of Karolina. She returned from severe injuries and showed that she is still ready to fight. Just well done ❤

I was rooting for Swiatek and I am happy she won, what an athlete she is! Muchova is amazing, she seems like a very nice girl too. I wish her all the best in the future :)

Terrific mental toughness and comeback by Iga. She is a wonder.

2 great players. no grunting no screaming. Well played Iga and Muchova!!

What Iga did in third set is significant. The way she refused to lose.

The whole match was an emotional rollercoaster 🎢 Iga was playing so well first set, ball landing bang on the lines, Muchova struggled to get into rhythm, made many errors and gave away many free points. Second half of second set, maybe Iga felt she had control and was getting closer to winning, forehand started to smash too hard, ball was flying everywhere. Muchova was playing more carefree, improved significantly - stamina was there, ball hitting was sharp and clean, had so much variety in her game. The running, the drop shots, she was so good. It was obvious that Iga started crumbling a bit - she seemed frustrated, getting rushed and anxious, started spiralling down. But then what makes someone a champion? How do the greats win? They calm down, they regroup, they come back. Final set she still struggled to hold serve, her first serves weren’t landing, but she kept her composure, became more strategic with which shots to chase for. She still trusted her own forehand, wasn’t scared to take risks and go big. We often see her bagelling opponents at earlier rounds, she was never tested or pushed to the limits, so we rarely see her emotions exposed. This time she had to dig deep, had to really work her way back up from the bottom, and reminded us how true champions fight. You may not be playing your best game, but your intelligence and mentality brought you your victory. To me her body plays like Rafa and her mind thinks like Novak. Well done Iga, what a player 🎉

I was curious to see what Iga was made of, in her 1st 3 setter in a major final, and she sure showed me. She's a champion through and through. Well done. Sad for Muchova though. She's the only player on the planet, besides Ons, where I wouldn't have minded if they won this match. Wonderful player and person.

Karolina Muchova played outstanding tennis today! I knew she had great potential ever since I watched her game against Iga back in 2019. This was definitely the tournament of her life so far and she deserves a huge credit for what she's achieved. This was by far Swiatek's toughest GS final and one of the toughest matches in her career. I'm really happy for Iga. She not only won her 4th GS title but defended her World No1. position. Congratulations Iga!

Just an insane match after that first set. I had no idea who was going to win half way through that third set, which is such a credit to how tough Muchova was. Congrats, though, to Iga for hanging in there and being the first woman to win back-to-back French Open titles since Justine Henin.

Congratulations to both ladies, you are a great players. The second and third set was a real thrill. I was impressed by Karolina's game throughout the tournament, her incredibly wide range of skills, will to fight, etc., but my heart was for Iga. Beautiful finale and thank you for this Saturday in Paris❤👏

Congrats to Iga! Well deserved win! Mental toughness after letting the match get away and then winning the last 3 games of the final set to wrap it up! The stuff of champions. Terrific tournament for Muchova!

Congratulations Iga❤ I am really so happy for you!

Karolina put up a good battle, up 4-3 in the 3rd is pretty dam good against Iga. No grunting and screaming, just 2 classy pros battling out. Congrats to both ladies on the successful tournament and I love the hug at the end. Very classy of Karolina to not throw a tantrum or sulk. She knows she had a very good tournament and hopefully she stays healthy.

Congratulations IGA , you're simply The Best ❤ Thank you Karolina for making this Match so interesting!!! I hope they play many more finals❤❤❤❤

What a match. Worthy of a Grand Slam Final..!!

the first one to defend a title in recent years

Congrats to IGA !! The true champion and Polish No1. Cheers from Tasmania-Australia.

Congratulation to Iga and Karolina you both played exceptionally well, and both deserve finals.

Iga showed being very strong mentally to play on the third set last points when she was getting through a very hard moment of the match, 4-3 break down to turn around it and winning the title. Very impressive to see how at her only 22, Swiatek has won RG two times in a row 👈 👈 🇫🇷 🏆🇵🇱 🎾

Queen of Clay. Congrats Iga. 🎉

I wouldn't be surprised if Swiatek wins 10 french opens by the end of her career! The quality of hitting was great in this match and was close, Swiatek mentally stronger.

Congratulations Iga 💐

Been following Iga’s career since she was still on the rise to greatness, and I’m so glad to see how far she’s come. She’s become one of the most versatile, hard-hitting and resilient competitors out there, and I can’t wait to see what she goes on to conquer next!

iga basically gave a heart attack with her slow start of the 3rd set and it never looked like she was going to win until she did, so amazing to watch a star make history ‼️‼️

Iga won this tournament differently than the previous two - not thanks a great form, which is quite average this year, but her mental strength... The end of the final set in her performance was masterful, she played without a nervous system and won... this is what makes you a champion... How many such finals and tournaments have Novak won...Plenty... And Iga too, doesn't always have to be in a good form to win, because she is simply a true champion...

Great match! Congratulations Karolina! Congratulations 1GA! True champion! Beautiful Polish anthem!

Muchova you were so close 😭😭😭😭 Mad congrats to both making the Finals, and hats off to Iga on defending her title 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾.

Congrats Iga. True champion!!!

People doubted and questioned Igas greatness 😤😤 Even in 3rd set i belived in Iga that she gonna win. Today Iga shown n proved her mental fortitude. She was tested like never before today and she faced it with steel of nerves. Iga big congrats on ur 3rd Rolland Garros 👏👏🏆🏆🏆. So happy and proud of you. 😭(tears of joy) #Queenofparis

Finally someone in the WTA who can be considered consistent

Congratulations to Iga!!! 🎉Cheers from New York!!!

Iga is the tougest fighter on the planet. Mentally I gives her a boost for the comming tournaments. Big congra. from Denmark

Credit to Iga's perseverance. Twice down a break in the final set and coming back to win! Muchova showed her game is right there with Iga's. These two are the best in women's tennis right now. Look forward to seeing more of them in the future . . .

4 Majors she better start finally getting some respect

A great high quality match, and thought both deserved to win. It is enjoyable to watch this type of quality WITHOUT the screaming-moaning of others who are obviously not in the same class as these two. On a final note it is great to see Muchova back, and expect her be in the late rounds of London and NY.

IGA Swiatek Talent Absolutny! Dziekujemy!😉❤💌💥💞🤝

This match gave the tennis world something it's been needing for a very long time ...ladies congratulations..and lga you are world number 1

Congratulations Iga. She is number 1 of the world but Muchova will come back strong. I am looking forward to see her back

I’ve never seen Iga so anxious in a grand slam final, but credit to her for beating Muchova and conquering her own nerves. All great champions have a philosophy, be it all-out attack or being a brick wall, and in the final moments of the match she trusted her forehand and believed in her ability to win the match rather than hoping for her opponent to lose it.

So happy for Iga, but big, big CONGRATS to Karolina! YOU are an amazing player!

Iga at age of 22 has already 4 GS, meanwhile Ryba and Saba barely won 1.

I was supporting Muchova, been a fan since I first saw her play in New Zealand a few years ago. She will be in these GS finals again! Congratulations to Swiatek, deserved champion.

Still cant believe Iga won this match! She lost second set 5:7 then 0-2! And there was so many breaks! Muchova was so good! 🎉 I am happy for Iga but in the same time sad for Karolina😢🎉

The way she came back in that third was incredible. Amazing champion

With firm steps (and brilliant footwork) 1GA marches toward the Hall of Fame. Damn, what a game! Ms Roland Garros, 3 wins in 4 years. 💪

Modest, properly dressed and well mannered. True tennis Star. ⭐Iga you are great. Iga jesteś super. 👍💐

Un partido muy luchado y un gran triunfo. Enhorabuena Iga! ❤

Iga - DZIĘKUJEMY! 🎾🇵🇱🏆 Thank You 1GA!

This match has already gone down in history as one of the greatest tennis matches of all time! Well done and congratulations to 1ga!

Swiatek is my love 💙

Congratulation Iga 🎉👍

Ten mecz powinien zakończyć się w 2 setach. Karolina pokazała charakter. Iga wielkie brawa za końcowy wynik pomimo problemów. Brawoo👏👏 Już zrobiłaś wiele i jeszcze wiele przed tobą 💪

One of the best Grand Slam finals in history

It was Swiatek's toughest match of the tournament. Muchova is a great player. But Swiatek's mentality is great.

Dziekuje Ci dziecko. Badz zdrowa I silna. Nalezy Ci sie wypoczynek. ♥️✌️🇵🇱

The likes of Justine, Graf, Serena and other greats, 1GA stellarly managed to defend their GS titles successfully. She is only 22 and still learning the ropes to greatness. Congratulations to 1GA for well deserved defense of her RG title. Kudos too to Karolina for a hard fought hungry quest for a slam title but came up short unfortunately. Looking forward to Wimbledon between these two superb players!

Poland Garros!💪

Hopefully this win will be a deal breaker for Iga. There is nothing left to show, just pure freedom from now on. I think she will become unstoppable from now on, not that she isn't anyway

Gracias a K. Muchova por hacer de esta una verdadera final de un Grand Slam... toda una guerrera. Iga es una grande... toda una campeona

Iga is just on another level right now. Congrats on another slam in Paris!!!!!!!! 👍

Congrats, Iga. We love you.

Brawo dziewczyny! Iga wygrała zasłużenie ale Karolina pokazała super klasę !

Iga is only 22 years old. Incredible !

Gotta just love Iga. Jazda Iga. But credit to Muchova also, made it interesting, entertaining and made Iga earn it. A great match! 🔥 👍 🙂

Iga fought back from being a break down twice in the final set while Sabalenka choked (again) while being up a break in the final set. That's why Iga has 4 slams while Sabalenka is lucky to have 1.

1ga deserves for the 🏆..... Good luck for her in next grandslams (wimbledon and US 2023)

What a great effort from both. Karo needed a time to feel her game but she was a worthy opponent for Iga as soon as it happened. Putting aside first set, it was a permanent rollercoaster regarding breakes after breakes. Publicity got almost everything as expected (except a super tiebreak 😉). Iga, your 3rd Roland Garros Grand Slam in the last 4 years is really something! Kudos!

Congratulations Iga I love you ❤️

Hello Iga, wielki szacunek dla Twojej pracy, wielki podziw dla Twojego talentu !!!!!! Dziękujemy, jesteś WIELKA 👏💓👏💓👏💓👏💓👏💓👏💓

Two of the nicest ladies in women's tennis. Love them both!

Loved the match and I had to root for my compatriot Iga but I absolutely have to appreciate Karolina with her game. So happy that Iga defended the title. She is my favourite Polish athelete of all time.

So nice to watch a ladies match with no screaming

This is the beginning of a new dynasty. Poland Garros!

Congrats to Iga! Well deserved!!

Well deserved. Finally, we are seeing a tenniswoman who'll dominate the game (tennis) for many coming years.

Iga Swiatek No 1 🎉❤ Undefeatable 💪🏻

Let's go Queen Iga!

Muchova played with so much grace and stamina. She nearly won it! This just confirms she's a better player overall than Sabalenka and her victory wasn't a coincidence. The Czechs have so many amazing tennis players for such a small country - I wonder how come?

Iga is the Queen of Clay!

Iga Swaitek.👦🏻👍🏻✨💪🏻,Strong..😁👏☺️

The women's game finally has a dominant player.

Świątek's mental strength started to be impressive. She is a true champion! Iga has just equaled the record of Vicario, Osaka and Clijsters at the age of 22. We're waiting to dethroning Sharapova and Hingis and the next mission will be Venus Williams/ Justine Henin. :D

Excellent final 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼, congrats to both ladies for a very successful tournament, Offcourse one had to win it all and that was Iga, well deserved !

Love Iga and love the two playing together. Here’s hoping for a long-lived rivalry.

Congrats to the superstar. Champion always comes with the best possible way to win 🏆 ❤🎉

Iga normalnie jak żywioł jedyna w swoim rodzaju i numer 1

i admire muchovas game so much .. she is the female roger federer so elegant and skillful .. she struggled alot with injuries i hope she can stay fit now bc she belongs to the top .. womens tennis is getting better and better aryna iga elena really pushing the standard high and now muchova is finally able to display her talent .. great final 👏👏

I was thinking of cashing out my 265$ bet after the second set but trusted Iga and won that bet !!! 😃 Congrats to Swiatek you deserve to be the champion.

Wish I'd been able to watch the entire match. Looked like a real tight, even contest, with lots of entertaining rallies and unpredictability. I don't really watch a lot of women's tennis, but these ladies sure can play. It's incredible how hard they hit the ball. Some stunning winning passing shots down the line and crosscourt from both players. Well done to both!

Congratulations Iga you are a terrific champion. Well deserved.

The final of the Grand Slam should not end with a double service error, but of course it's huge players' nerves ... Every tennis fan should pray that Karolina will not suffer any injury until the end of her career (everyone probably saw the scars after surgery on her shoulder today) because her tennis is unique compared to today's trend... And then we will see Karolina more than once when she lifts the trophy of a big tournament...

Iga❤❤❤

I love Muchová ❤❤❤❤

Iga was unstoppable! Congrats ❤️❤️❤️

I didn't think Iga's opponent would present *much of a* challenge, but she did.

Keep fighting all the way warrior Swiatek ❤️
