After becoming the world number one, Swatak's desire to win became stronger.
Today, let's talk about Swartek's key match in Miami. On March 31, the 2022 Miami Open ended the women's singles quarterfinals, and the quasi-world no. 1 Swatek eliminated Kvitova with two 6-3 without sending a break point, and advanced to the women's singles semifinals with 15 consecutive wins.
With this victory, the Poles' career record in the quarter-finals of the WTA Tour was 10 wins and 1 loss.

The two had previously met once in Toronto 2019, when the Japanese won. The success of this revenge is enough to prove that Swatak is worthy of the current world number one position. (Source: Tennis House Author: Wu Li Fun)
