Tennis: World no.1 Iga Swiatek has won a third-consecutive French Open title, comprehensively defeating Italian Jasmine Paolini.
Swiatek wins third-straight French Open | 02:33 Carlos Alcaraz says he is hoping to join the long list of Spanish French Open champions when he bids to become the youngest man to win Grand Slam titles on all three surfaces in the final against Alexander Zverev .The 21-year-old defeated Novak Djokovic to win Wimbledon last year and also lifted the US Open trophy as a teenager in 2022.
“I have a special feeling at this tournament, because I remember when I finish school I’m running to my home just to put the TV on and watch the matches here in the French Open,” Alcaraz said. Alcaraz has won both of his previous Slam finals -- one more and he will be the youngest man to win major events on clay, grass and hard courts.
“So I consider myself a player who adapts very well his style in every surface. And, well, I grew up playing on clay but I feel more comfortable playing on hard court, for example.Zverev was once regarded as the biggest threat to the dominance of Nadal, Djokovic and Federer, but is now 27 and still chasing a maiden Grand Slam title.
The case was dropped after a settlement was agreed hours before his semi-final win over Casper Ruud, who was struggling with illness.He was accused of “briefly” choking former partner Brenda Patea “with both hands” in May 2020, according to the court.
