Iga Swiatek Wins Her First Career Title On Home Soil In Warsaw

Iga Swiatek has finally done it, the Polish superstar has finally won a trophy on native soil, winning the 2023 Poland Open.

Winning a WTA trophy on native soil has always been a dream for Swiatek because she's just that proud of being Polish. It's always something she talks about, and by admitting to feeling quite a bit of stress earlier in the week, Swiatek proved how much this means to her.

The last few days were quite complicated because she saw her matches delayed a couple of times due to bad weather. She played two matches, both on Saturday and Sunday, because of that, but nothing could stop her from achieving her goal.

Her opponent in the final was an experienced veteran, Laura Siegemund, but the German was no match for the top seed in the Polish capital.

The bagel factory was open for business as Swiatek won the first set 6-0 in just 31 minutes of play. In the first set, the Pole lost just two points behind her serve and lost only 8 of 22 points on the return.

Swiatek was simply outplaying her opponent from the baseline, as there are very few players who could resist her from the baseline. The second set didn't bring any change, even though Siegemund was trying her best to resist Swiatek.

The Polish player still jumped out to an early 3-0 lead, which was the beginning of the end of the match. The Polish player added another break later on to close out the match. The final score was 6-0, 6-1 for Swiatek in a little over an hour.

By winning the match, Swiatek lifted her first trophy on native soil, but she'll hope that it won't be the only one. It was also her 15th trophy overall. Up next is the North American stretch. She will be the defending champion at the US Open.
