They lost in last year's men's doubles final here in Paris after holding three match points and today they are the Roland-Garros champions -- Ivan Dodig and Austin Krajicek were not to be denied again as they eased to a 6-3, 6-1 victory over Belgian duo Sander Gille and Joran Vliegen.
The win also sees the 32-year-old Krajicek rise to the doubles world No.1 spot for the first time in his career.
Swiatek receives trophy from legendary Chris Evert
"First of all congrats to Karolina. Even since we first played, I knew we would play these kind of finals," says Swiatek, who faced Muchova four years ago in a tournament in Prague when they were both barely in the top 100.

The crowd chants Muchova's name as she fights tears trying to say a few words in the trophy ceremony.
"I'll try to keep it short because it's a bit emotional. This is incredible, thank you everyone. It's been amazing three weeks for me and for my team. This was so close, yet so far, but that's what happens when you face someone as incredible as Iga," said the Czech.

World No.1 Iga Swiatek has captured a second consecutive Roland-Garros title, a third in Paris, and fourth Grand Slam crown overall with a hard-fought 6-2, 5-7, 6-4 victory over a gritty Karolina Muchova.

It's an 11th break of serve of the match; Muchova saved two break points but faltered on the third as Swiatek levels once against for 4-4.

No.3 seed Alina Korneeva has clinched a second consecutive Grand Slam girls' singles title with a 7-6(4), 6-3 victory over Peruvian Lucciana Perez Alarcon.
The 15-year-old Korneeva is the first player to win two Grand Slam girls’ singles titles in a season since 2013, when Ana Konjuh won both the Australian Open and the US Open and Belinda Bencic triumphed at Roland-Garros and Wimbledon.
She is also the first player to win the girls’ singles titles at the opening two Grand Slams of the year since Magdalena Maleeva in 1990.
Korneeva will be back on court shortly for the girls' doubles final alongside Sarah Saito against Tyra Caterina Grant and Clervie Ngounoue.

At 17 years 35 days, Oda will become the youngest men’s wheelchair singles world No.1 in history on Monday – claiming the record from Hewett, who became world No.1 for the first time aged 20 years 54 days in January 2018.
