Swiatek Crushes Pliskova to Warn Wimbledon
The Pole dominated in a 60-minute clinic, exposing Pliskova's hard-court struggles.
Iga Swiatek delivered a ruthless masterclass, dismantling Karolina Pliskova 6-2, 6-1 in a match that lasted barely an hour. The Polish star’s relentless groundstrokes exposed the fragility of her opponent’s game on hard courts, leaving the WTA field with a stark warning ahead of Wimbledon. The contest was a one-sided clinic rather than a competitive duel, with Swiatek asserting total control from the opening serve.
She struck 12 winners while limiting herself to a mere four unforced errors, showcasing a level of precision that Pliskova simply could not match. In stark contrast, the Czech veteran managed only three winners throughout the entire encounter, struggling to find any rhythm against Swiatek’s suffocating defense and aggressive court positioning. 1’s efficiency and her ability to dismantle opponents without expending unnecessary energy.
