Iga Swiatek bounced back in a big way at the Italian Open in Rome, showing off her talent with a 6-1, 6-0 win over home favorite Elisabetta Cocciaretto. After a tough loss to Coco Gauff in Madrid where she mentioned dealing with "personal stuff," the world No. 2 regained her rhythm in style.
Swiatek, a three-time Rome champion, now boasts a 21-2 record in the city since 2021. "I felt like the ball was kind of listening to me today," she said, highlighting her full control over the match. It was a performance that mixed skill and confidence — like a superstar nailing every move! 😎
The Italian Open, serving as the final clay-court warmup before the French Open kicks off on May 25, has set the stage for more excitement. With four Grand Slam titles at Roland Garros, Swiatek is ready for her next clash against U.S. player Danielle Collins. Stay tuned for more thrilling tennis action!
