DIEDE DE GROOT CLAIMS 10TH CONSECUTIVE SLAM
Biot, June 11, 2023
Diede De Groot (NED, n°1) won her 10th consecutive Grand Slam title at Roland-Garros, and her 100th in a row in the quarter-finals against France’s Emmanuelle Mörch.
The final against Yui Kamiji (JAP, n°2) quickly turned to the advantage (6/2 6/0) of a Dutchwoman in full confidence on clay, who had no intention of letting herself be trapped like in Melbourne where she had to work hard to come back from a set down.
With this victory at Porte d’Auteuil, Diede De Groot follows in the footsteps of Esther Vergeer, whose exceptional records (21 Grand Slam titles, 470 consecutive victories) could soon be overturned.
