Iga Swiatek Wins Home WTA Title In Warsaw
Iga Swiatek cruised to the title in her home tournament, the Warsaw Open with a 6-0, 6-1 victory over exhausted Laura Siegemund on Sunday. The world No. 1 completed two busy days by sweeping aside her German opponent in 68 minutes for a second victory of the day. "I wanted to put it all in and go for it. I'm pretty happy that I did," Swiatek said in her winner's speech. The rain delays in the tournament meant Swiatek started Friday by playing her quarter-final and ended it by starting her semi-final against Yanina Wickmayer.
