Swiatek analyzes her results: “It’s harder to beat me”

“I am happy to have stayed strong until the end and to have adapted well to the conditions,” started Iga Swiatek in a press conference after securing her first victory at Indian Wells 2025. The Polish tennis player debuted with a lightning-fast triumph against Caroline Garcia in the Californian desert, showing her candidacy to go far in the event.

Why do you often win by such dominant scores?

“The first matches are not easy and I didn’t know what to expect from Caro, but I am happy that I managed to take control from the start. There are many reasons for achieving that result, but I don’t know. I am solid no matter the score and I don’t take matches for granted. Even if I’m leading 4-0, I know I must keep playing the same way and maintain the same attitude to win the match.

The matches I lose are usually much tighter, which means it’s harder to win against me, I suppose, but it doesn’t matter. I will have matches that are great battles and easy matches, but you can never expect anything or never try to predict. Doing that doesn’t make sense.”

Next duel in Indian Wells: Dayana Yastremska

“I don’t expect anything specific. Honestly, I feel that the tennis players who play against me can be amazing in the match or play a bit below their normal level. You never know what you will get from the other side; they can play without expectations against me. I try not to think too much about that. My mentality and way of thinking are always the same before the match, and I will prepare tactically, and Wim will analyze her game here because that is the most important, what has happened recently.”

Her passions off the court

“I am reading a cookbook, so I have tried some new things on this trip because we have a large and very comfortable house with a huge kitchen,” confessed the Polish player, who hinted that an oat cake and tuna pasta will be the next recipes she will try to make these days from Indian Wells.
