Świątek met her first competition in Indian Wells! I only played with her once

In California, the Polish woman did not have to compete in the first round, as she bid farewell. Played by Magdalena Fręch, who, to the surprise of the fans, wins her duel and is already in the next round.

There was a change of pair that was supposed to choose Rasinian’s rival. Alison van Uytvanck has suffered an injury and has withdrawn from the prestigious tournament. She was replaced by Anna Karolina Schmiedlova, who, despite the defeat in the qualifying rounds, could play in the second category.

Iga Świątek knows its competition. Good American game

However, the Slovaks did not stay in Indian Wells for long. Claire Liu handled the qualifiers in less than two hours. Victory could have come soon, but Schmidlova missed two set pieces in the first set and needed more matches to clinch the set victory. I finally made it through the tiebreaker. In it, she was already losing 1:5, but she turned his fortune around in impressive fashion.

The player, who is currently 56th in the WTA rankings, was doing better and better in the second match. She won 6-3 and entered the second round.

The American will now have a very difficult task. He will face Christmas. The two players haven’t played together for a long time. In Auckland 2018, the Polish woman was better and needed three sets. The Indian Wells match will be played on Saturday.
