Iga Swiatek participated in an intense and lengthy first set during the ongoing Qatar Open. The World No. 1 achieved yet another remarkable feat, winning her third consecutive title at Doha. In a straight sets victory, she defeated the World No. 4. Swiatek secured the win with a scoreline of 7-6 (10-8) 6-2, claiming her third-successive Qatar Open title. Despite facing a double break deficit in the first set, she celebrated her victory with great enthusiasm. In an on-court interview, she expressed the significance of this win and how it alleviated a significant amount of stress.
During the prize ceremony, Swiatek gracefully accepted her trophy as the champion. Holding the eagle-shaped title, she resembled a queen, proudly displaying it to the entire stadium while fireworks illuminated the backdrop, creating an unforgettable moment.
Swiatek has faced immense pressure in recent months due to her underperformance in the Grand Slams. She temporarily lost her World No. 1 ranking in late September of the previous year but regained it by the end of the year. Furthermore, she experienced a major setback after being eliminated in the last 16 rounds of the Australian Open.
In a post-match on-court interview, Swiatek emphasized the significance of her victory and expressed her relief in winning the prestigious Qatar Open. She will now compete in the Dubai Championships as the top seed.
