Swiatek Eyes Third Indian Wells Title After Dominating Start

Iga Swiatek continued her impressive title defense at the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, showcasing her dominance by defeating Dayana Yastremska 6-0, 6-2, following a strong opening match against Caroline Garcia. Swiatek, who aims to become the first woman to win the tournament three times, has not dropped a single set in her last two matches, with a remarkable streak of 19 consecutive games won. Despite a recent one-month suspension due to a failed drug test, she expressed her determination to reclaim her top form, stating her love for the tournament. After losing her world number one ranking, Swiatek remains optimistic about her performance and is focused on maintaining her winning mentality. The Polish player will next face either Karolina Muchova or Katerina Siniakova as she progresses through the tournament. Swiatek's commanding play has reaffirmed her status as a formidable competitor in the WTA Tour.
