How Iga Swiatek won the 2022 French Open -- and why she could dominate for the foreseeable future

For 68 minutes, Iga Swiatek captivated the tennis world.

On Saturday, her blistering, athletic play dismantled teenage phenom Coco Gauff, 6-1, 6-3, to win the 2022 French Open.

Swiatek took the first four games of the match -- and never looked back.

It marked Swiatek's second major title and her 35th straight victory -- tying her with Venus Williams for the longest winning streak in the WTA of this millennium.

She hasn't lost a match since Feb. 16.

"To have that kind of streak, I needed everything," she told NBC's Maria Taylor on Saturday.
