World No.1 Iga Swiatek eases past Sara Sorribes Tormo in straight sets

Wednesday, 05 July 2023 at 17:35

World number one Iga Swiatek continued her journey at Wimbledon 2023 as she secured another thumping win on Wednesday.

In the first-ever meeting between the players, the 22-year-old defeated Spain’s Sara Sorribes Tormo in straight sets with a score of 6-2, 6-0.

Swiatek was extremely dominant from the first set where she lost two games. In that process, she ended up producing 14 winners, 11 more than her opponent.

That’s not it as the number one seed player also won 82 percent points on the first serve.

In the second set, the reigning French and US Open champion was flawless as she ended up winning the set without losing a game.

In that process, she secured 80 per cent of the service points. In comparison, her opponent only managed to win 25 per cent of points while serving.

The result will be a big booster for Swiatek who will be hoping to produce a much better show at Wimbledon compared to how she has done in the past.

It remains the only Grand Slam where the Warsaw-born has never played in the quarterfinal or beyond. Her best performance came in the 2021 edition where she suffered a fourth-round exit after losing to last year's finalist Ons Jabeur with a score of 5-7, 6-1, 6-1.
