Polish tennis star Iga Swiatek shut down concerns about her recent form with a jaw-dropping 6-1, 6-0 victory over Italy’s Elisabetta Cocciaretto at the Italian Open on Thursday. This marked a swift rebound from her rare 6-1, 6-1 loss to American rival Coco Gauff in Madrid last week—a defeat she later attributed to off-court "personal stuff" affecting her focus.
Swiatek, currently ranked No. 2 globally, has been unstoppable in Rome, boasting a 21-2 record since 2021.
"The ball was kind of listening to me today,"
she quipped after the match. Her next challenge? A showdown with hard-hitting Danielle Collins of the U.S., as she eyes a fourth Italian Open title.
With the French Open starting May 25, all eyes are on Swiatek. She’s dominated Roland Garros four times—could another clay-court triumph be brewing? 🏆 Fans are already calling this her "redemption arc" in a season that’s yet to see her reach a tour final.
