22-year-old Świątek is already a member of the elite group that makes up the Sunshine Double Club. She becomes the youngest person to win both events in the United States in 2022.
Iga Svetek noted on Wednesday that she is a completely different player than she was two years ago. At the time, she entered the action in Indian Wells and Miami as the No. 4 club in the world. He has now been at the top of the WTA charts for 95 weeks.
-I learned a lot and proved a lot. That was the main goal two years ago, to prove to everyone that I was in the right place. “Now I don't feel pressured to do it, I feel like I've already done my job to some extent,” the 22-year-old said.
Did Shvitek and Zendaya meet by chance? What do the stars of the field and cinema have in common?

Only three people have been able to win the “Sunshine Double” more than once: German Steffi Graf for women, and Swiss Roger Federer and Serbian Novak Djokovic for men. Will Iga join this group?
– Of course the dream will come true, but it is not an easy task. Two years ago I felt like I had accomplished too much. This time I will do everything as usual. She stressed that I still have many matches to play.
Last Sunday, Iga confidently triumphed in Indian Wells, after defeating the Greek Maria Sakkari in the final, just as happened two years ago. The conference wondered if this meant she was a prime candidate to succeed in Miami. “I don't think we should talk about that,” she replied.
She added: I will do everything as usual, step by step, and there is no need to think about winning the title now because I have not trained here yet.
Świątek will begin the competition in Miami with a second-round match. Her opponent will be Italian player Camila Giorgi, who defeated Magdalena Frisch 6:4, 6:2 in the first match.
