Swiatek’s fifth career title was her second in as many tournaments after her triumph in Doha last month, and pushed her WTA match win-streak to 11. It also ensured the 20-year-old from Poland, who shot to prominence with her victory at Roland Garros in 2020, will climb two spots to supplant Barbora Krejcikova at No.2 in the rankings behind Australian Ashleigh Barty on Monday.
“I’m really overwhelmed and honestly my mind is blown,” Swiatek said, explaining that coming into the tournament she didn’t think it was “realistic” to think she could maintain the level that saw her win Doha for a second straight tournament.
