Polish tennis sensation Iga Swiatek showcased her usual dominance on the court as she swept aside Italy’s Camila Giorgi with a convincing 6-1, 6-1 victory, securing her spot in the third round of the Miami Open.

This milestone marked Swiatek’s 100th match at a WTA 1000 tournament, with an impressive 81 wins under her belt, second only to Serena Williams (87) at this stage of a tennis career.

Remarkably, Swiatek maintains an undefeated record of 71-0 after winning the opening set at WTA-1000 events, with 67 of those victories coming in straight sets, underscoring her formidable frontrunning skills.

Opponents now dread facing Swiatek, knowing the formidable aura she brings onto the court, especially when she gains an early lead, showcasing her dominance over rivals.

Despite her remarkable achievements, Swiatek remains grounded, emphasizing her focus on taking each match step by step without getting ahead of herself. While dreams of winning the trophy linger, she remains cautious, acknowledging the challenges of the tournament ahead.

While Swiatek downplays her status as the queen of the women’s game, tennis legend Martina Navratilova believes she will continue to be a force to reckon with, especially on slow courts like those at the Miami Open.

As Swiatek eyes the Miami Open title following her recent triumph at Indian Wells, she faces world No. 31 Linda Noskova of the Czech Republic in the upcoming third round, further solidifying her position as a favorite in the tournament.

“Iga might not be the quickest player out there but she’s the most complete player out there and it really shows up on slow courts like this,” said nine-time Wimbledon champion Navratilova on Sky Sports Tennis.

“She is a fantastic player and is the best front-runner we have had in the game since Serena Williams.

“Also, she can get better. Her serve can improve so watch out.”
