A day after she claimed her fifth Grand Slam title and reaffirmed her status as the world No. 1 in women's tennis, Świątek proudly lifted up her Roland Garros trophy again for a photo session in the French capital, Polish state news agency PAP reported.
The 23-year-old Pole wore a dazzling white and blue outfit and looked glamorous as she was photographed at the Roland Garros complex, according to multiple media outlets.
The tennis.com website said the Polish world No. 1 "looked stunning as she again posed for the traditional media opportunity."
Świątek posed with the trophy while wearing a "high-neck cream-colored satin tank, accessorized with a statement-making scarf, and a blue skirt," according to tennis.com.
"She completed the look with a rose-gold watch, her hair pulled back, and a striking red lipstick, which has become something of a trademark accent to her off-court styling since she signed a global ambassadorship with the cosmetics company Lancôme in April," the website reported.
"Merci Paris. You’re my favorite place to play, smile and wear some nice outfits once in a while," Swiatek wrote on social media after the shoot.
Świątek on Saturday, June 8, defeated Jasmine Paolini of Italy 6-2, 6-1 in the championship match in Paris to win her fourth French Open trophy and claim her 22nd career singles title.

The Polish player dropped only one set on her way to victory.
Świątek also triumphed at Roland Garros in 2020, 2022 and 2023.
In September 2022, the Pole won the US Open, adding to her Grand Slam haul.
The Polish star, coached by countryman Tomasz Wiktorowski, in November 2023 regained her spot at the top of the world rankings in women's tennis after winning the season-ending WTA Finals tournament in Mexico.
She now leads the WTA rankings with 11,695 points, ahead of American Coco Gauff, with 7,988 points, and Belarusian Aryna Sabalenka, with 7,788.
