2024 tennis event results
Two-time defending champion Iga Świątek[1] defeated Jasmine Paolini in the final, 6–2, 6–1 to win the women's singles tennis title at the 2024 French Open. She saved a match point (in the second round against Naomi Osaka)[2] en route to her fourth French Open and fifth major title. Świątek only dropped one set en route to the title (also against Osaka) and became the third woman in the Open Era to win three consecutive French Open titles, after Monica Seles in 1992 and Justine Henin in 2007.[3][4] Additionally, Świątek became only the second woman to win the Madrid Open, Italian Open, and French Open in the same season, after Serena Williams in 2013.[5] She became only the third woman in the Open Era to win all of their first five major finals, after Margaret Court and Seles.[6][7]
The defeats of Aryna Sabalenka and Elena Rybakina in the quarterfinals guaranteed a first-time major finalist from the bottom half of the draw. Paolini emerged to be that player, and became the third Italian woman to reach the French Open final, after Francesca Schiavone and Sara Errani.[8] By reaching the final, Paolini made her debut in the top ten of the WTA rankings, at World No. 7.
Świątek's victory over Anastasia Potapova in the fourth round, which lasted 40 minutes, was the shortest match played at the French Open since the 1988 final between Steffi Graf and Natasha Zvereva. Potapova won only ten points in the entire match, the fewest on record in a completed match at the French Open.[9]
Mirra Andreeva became the youngest player to reach a major semifinal since Martina Hingis at the 1997 US Open. With her win over world No. 2 Sabalenka in the quarterfinals, Andreeva became the youngest player to defeat a top two player at a major since Jelena Dokic defeated Hingis at the 1999 Wimbledon Championships, and the youngest to do so at the French Open since Seles defeated Graf in 1990.[10] The defeat also ended Sabalenka's streak of six consecutive major semifinals, dating back to the 2022 US Open.
This tournament marked the final professional appearance of former world No. 11 Alizé Cornet. She lost to Zheng Qinwen in the first round.[11] Cornet was contesting her 69th consecutive major main draw appearance (out of 72 overall appearances), the longest consecutive streak of major appearances by any woman.[12]
For the first time since the 2012 US Open, the four reigning major champions (Sabalenka, Świątek, Markéta Vondroušová and Coco Gauff) all reached the quarterfinals of the same major tournament.[citation needed]
