Swiatek’s secret ingredient? Heavy topspin and a side of Bagels

The Indian Wells – the backhand was well wide, but the adhesive tape – radically changing direction – and fell for an unlikely winner. Iga Swiatek, who had just won her seventh game in a row, raised her hand.

Sorry, I’m not sorry.

Sunday was this day for Dayana Yastremska at the BNP Paribas Open. Swiatek finished 6-0 in 65 minutes with a 6-0 win in the third round.

Yastremska, a victim of her over-aggressive earth strikes and Swiatek’s consistent serenity-up finally into the game for 53 minutes when Swiatek’s return return sailed for a long time. That ended Swiadek’s 10-game winning shop.

Yastremska showed a little grit and gathered two service games before SWIATEK served it. The world No. 2 was not exposed to a break point.

The champion here in 2022 and 2024, Swiatek, for her third title – something that no woman has ever reached. On Tuesday she will receive the winner of the later game between Karolina Muchova No. 15 and Katerina Siniakova.

Here are three snack bars:

It’s a dry heat

Two hours before playing with Dayana Yastremska, Swiatek was in court in stadium 1 and worked with her team. Trainer Wim Fissette, racket in his hand, stood about 20 feet away and watched Swiadek Lash funeral from the baseline. After about 10 minutes, Swiatek wiped her frothy face with the tip of her white T-shirt.

No sweat, right?

World No. 2 loves these desert dishes and their high bounces – comparable, some players say with Clay. At the age of 23, Swiatek is already four times the champion on the red tone of Roland Garros. When you watch your caving in Indian Wells, Otters feels that joy in a chattering stream.

It’s all about the speed here, not necessarily the MPH. It is an extremely spider -friendly environment.

“I certainly have the feeling that it makes it more visible, the top spin that I play,” said Swiatek to report. “But I still have to play it. My game fits the surface here, yes. The surface helps, but it’s not the only one. You still have to do the job. “

Statistical chaos

Speaking of exaggerating Swiatek’s dominance in her “tennis paradise”.

The numbers begin to be amazing:

• Swiatek is 20-2 in Indian Wells, a win of 0.909, which is second for Martina Navratilova’s flawless 10: 0.
• Of these 20 wins, 17 came in straight sets – a will for Swiatek’s dominance here.
• Since the format was introduced in 2009, Swiatek (.817, 103-23) is only Serena Williams (.841, 148-28) for the profit share at WTA 1000 events.
• Only Victoria Azarenka (33) has registered more sets with a 6-0 goal line at WTA 1000 events as SWIATEKS 31 since the format was introduced in 2009.

How does it feel to be in the middle of a 6-0 run?

“I know that I’m in a good place and go the right way,” said Swiatek. “So I feel pretty pumped. But on the other hand, calmly because I don’t feel like I was threatened.

“I know what it feels like. I don’t know what it looks like because I usually don’t even look at these games in which I played perfectly because it cannot change or analyze much. “

Cook with IGA

On Friday, after winning her first game against Caroline Garcia, Swiatek revealed that she read a book about cooking and reading a few culinary experiments in her rented house. On Sunday she offered an update and kept a photo of the baked oat flock with Apple on her phone.

“What looks better in the picture,” she said, “when it tastes. I just had to add a lot of yogurt. I know my friends tell me that I did wrong that I should mix the oats before, but I didn’t. I don’t know, I probably have to try again. “

The pasta with tuna and lemon sauces sounded more successful.

“It was pretty great in the end,” said Swiatek. “It is not yet at a level that is still a hobby. I just try things out because I have a good cuisine here. I am usually too lazy to do that, or don’t have time. It is only because I’m a bit bored. “
