"Really tight and pretty long" - Swiatek shares thoughts after San Diego Open triumph

Iga Swiatek battled Donna Vekic in the San Diego Open final and she was able to win the match with a furious 3rd-set finish.
Swiatek was on top early in the opening set and cruised to a comfortable finish. The opposite happened in the second set as she struggled to handle the serve of Vekic who pushed the Croatian to a 6-3 finish as well. The start of the world promised very exciting tennis but it was a superb display from the world number one who cruised to a 6-0 finish:
“I wanted to give it all-in, and knowing how Donna can serve I just wanted to more loosen up on my return games, and just not think – use my intuition a little bit and just fight for every ball."
Speaking further about the match, Swiatek admitted it was pretty intense but she wanted to be the one that dictated how the points turn out:
“It was a really tight match and pretty long, I think both of us felt the intensity for sure, so at the end I wanted to really be the one who is going to play the last ball in. It happened a few times, so it gave me a little confidence.”
