Swiatek Hammers Siegemund For Warsaw Hard Court Title

Iga Swiatek won her first career title in her home country of Poland with a resounding 6-0, 6-1 win over Laura Siegemund in the Warsaw final.

The world No. 1 cruised to victory dropping just six total points on serve in the blowout win. The 22-year-old took the last nine games of the match.

“I want to thank my team and my family. It’s not easy to play in Warsaw, but I’m so happy that we could manage and do everything we could today, after a pretty tiring day yesterday,” Swiatek on court to the crowd.

“I wanted to put it all in and go for it. I’m pretty happy that I did.”

Swiatek, who earlier in the day finished off Yanina Wickmayer in a rain-delayed semifinal, collected her 15th career title. She improves to 15-4 in tournament finals as she takes her fourth title of 2023.

The German Siegemind was gunning her 3rd career title. This was her first final since her 2017 Stuttgart title over Kristina Mladenovic.

“I’m sorry I couldn’t put up more of a battle today, but it was a little bit too much yesterday,” said Siegemund who won two three setters Saturday. “I tried my best, but the legs, they stayed at the hotel today.

Added Swiatek, “Laura, what you did yesterday was pretty surreal. I don’t know if anyone would be able to survive that, but you did.

“Congratulations for this run, because it’s been a pretty great week, and it’s nice that we could play this final.”

The tournament was played on clay, but this year switched to hard courts.
