Iga Swiatek cruised to her second French Open title by dominating teenager Coco Gauff in the final on Saturday, as the World No.1 claimed her 35th successive victory.&nbsp;
Polish star stormed to a 6-1, 6-3 win in only 68 minutes on Court Philippe Chatrier, equalling Venus Williams&rsquo; record for the longest winning run by a woman in the 21st century. Swiatek celebrated her sixth straight title this year in the players&rsquo; box with her friends and family.&nbsp;
&ldquo;I told Coco &lsquo;Don&rsquo;t cry&rsquo; and that&rsquo;s what I am doing. Congrats to Coco,&rdquo; said an emotional Swiatek.&nbsp;

&ldquo;You are doing an amazing job. At your age, I was on my first year on tour and I did not know what I was doing. You will find it, I am sure of that.&rdquo; &nbsp;A disconsolate Gauff was left sitting on her seat in tears after a nervous performance, punctuated by 23 unforced errors and three double faults. The 18-year-old American came up short in her bid to become the youngest Grand Slam singles champion since Maria Sharapova won Wimbledon in 2004. &ldquo;I want to congratulate Iga, what you&rsquo;ve done on tour in these past couple of months has been amazing,&rdquo; said Gauff, as the tears flowed again when she thanked her team.&nbsp;
&ldquo;I hope we can play in more finals and maybe I can win one...I want to thank my team, I&rsquo;m sorry I couldn&rsquo;t get this one today.&rdquo;&nbsp;
Swiatek, only the 10th woman to win multiple French Opens in the Open era, lost just one set in the tournament&mdash;against China&rsquo;s Zheng Qinwen in the fourth round. She has now won all three of her career meetings with Gauff, who was playing in her first major final.&nbsp;
35 No. of consecutive victories for Iga Swiatek
