The Polish tennis player not only did not give up a single set to her rivals in this tournament, but she also did not lose more than four matches in any of the sets.

I.Swiatek became the first representative of his country among men and women to bring the trophies of the “Big Accent” tournament to his homeland.

Like our other Latvian neighbor, Jelena Ostapenko, in 2017, I. Swiatek’s triumphant Roland Garros won the first WTA title of her career.

I.Swiatek, who appeared in the first final of his career “Big Accent”, did not show any signs of anxiety at the beginning of the match; He immediately became aggressive and won the first 12 of 15 points and shot 3: 0.

The 19-year-old rival – who already has experience in the finals of competitions of this range – also quickly found an answer and began to provoke the mistakes of a two-year-old rival. The score quickly evens out (3: 3).

In the second part of the first set a very persistent fight broke out. The game began to drag on, and although I. Swiatek gave it to the set and had set point’ą, the American decided to play more aggressively and softened the result (4: 5).

However, serve is definitely not S.Kenin’s strong point – she lost for the second time in this set and at the same time gave the set to the opponent.

In the second game of the game, the Australian Open champion immediately won the opponent’s innings, but then began to suffer from the pain of the left club.
