World No. 1 Iga Swiatek suffered a shock loss to Caroline Garcia in the quarter-finals of the Poland Open in Warsaw. Swiatek, who is returning to the WTA Tour after seeing her 37-match winning run ended in the third round of Wimbledon earlier this month, lost 1-6 6-1 4-6.
When it comes to winning streaks the end is always usually more memorable than the beginning. Certainly that was the case with Iga Swiatek’s 37-match unbeaten run, the longest on the WTA Tour this century, which started against Viktorija Golubic in Doha in February and ended in surprisingly one-sided fashion against Alize Cornet at Wimbledon on July 2. Now Swiatek is starting again, returning to action at the Poland Open in Warsaw this week, hoping to spark another streak ahead of the North American swing.
Japan's Nao Hibino upset No. 2 seed and defending champion Barboura Krejcikova of the Czech Republic, rallying for a 3-6, 7-6 (5), 6-3 second-round win on Thursday at the Prague Open.
The world number one defeated her 146th-ranked Romanian opponent to extend her clay run to 18 wins, and putting her overall record for 2022 at 48-4. French Open champion Swiatek has not lost a match on clay since the 2021 Roland Garros quarter-finals.
Iga Swiatek beat Gabriela Lee 6-3 6-2 in Warsaw to reach the quarter-finals of the Poland Open, extending her unbeaten run on clay courts to 18 matches. The Polish star breezed past compatriot Magdalena Frech 6-1 6-2 in the first round on Wednesday, before dismantling Lee on home soil in another straight-set victory.
World No. 1 Iga Swiatek looked in strong form on her return to action as she eased past Magdalena Frech at the Poland Open. Swiatek is playing in her home country after seeing her record-breaking 37-match winning streak ended in the third round at Wimbledon earlier this month.
The French Open champion romped to a 6-1, 6-2 victory at the Warsaw clay-court event in her first match since suffering a shock third-round defeat by Alize Cornet in the Wimbledon third round. Swiatek had been on a remarkable 37-match winning streak before that loss, taking six successive titles along the way.
World No 1 Iga Swiatek and retired pro Sergiy Stakhovsky have called out their fellow tennis players for ignoring and forgetting about the war in Ukraine. The French Open champion held an exhibition tournament in her home of Poland over the weekend to raise money for the war, and secured over £400,000 to help the efforts in Ukraine.
