00:00 Well, you can take us done what she's been doing throughout these last two weeks
00:03 Which is barely leaving any space at all for her opponents once again today leaving just six to six one
00:11 Absolutely dominant the pole and deservedly wins a third grand slam here at the French Open in a row
00:18 That's only matched by a justine in on Monica said s before so the third
00:22 She's the third woman to have achieved just this but look
00:26 It was it was predicted from the start almost that she was gonna be able to come here today with that facility
00:31 It wasn't easy for obviously in that second round match against Naomi Osaka
00:35 But today clearly she brushed aside Jessica Paolini
00:38 Even though at the start of the game the Italian seemed to definitely have some space in that breaking her serve
00:43 but after that there was a feeling that
00:45 Shante was gonna come back with a vengeance for that and she did and up until that until the end of the game
00:51 That's exactly what happens
00:53 She got her opponent to run from one side to the court to the other out powering her every time with her backhand just as
00:58 She's been doing every single time Paolini though putting in a good fight in this and definitely some long rallies in there
01:06 But in the end she managed to make the most of the weaknesses that she found up on her opponents today
01:12 And manages them to lift her third but fourth in total
01:16 But third consecutive trophy here at Hornel girls her fourth at the French Open and she on text totally deserving
01:22 That's once more still though. If we do look at on the bright side for Paolini
01:26 It's a good a good time as well for the Italians in tennis
01:30 She rises up to world's number seven despite the defeat and meanwhile, of course on the on the men's side
01:35 So we've got Yannick Sinner who while he may not be in the final for the men's tomorrow
01:38 Well, he's taking that world's number one spot. So Italian tennis is in good hands, but for now on the women's side
01:44 It's completely dominated by the pole by Igor Svantec
