1 Iga Świątek brushed aside Maria Sakkari in straights sets to earn the second Indian Wells title of her career, beating the ninth seed 6-4 6-0 in Sunday’s final.
The Polish superstar didn’t drop a set during the tournament and lost just 21 games en route to her second WTA 1000 title of the year after winning February’s Qatar Open.
Świątek, who was stunned by Linda Noskova in the Australian Open third round, has now won her last six WTA finals to extend her career record to 19-4.
“I’m really proud of myself,” Świątek said, per the WTA.
“I’m sorry I couldn’t put up a better fight,” Sakkari said in her on-court interview, according to the BBC.
