Swiatek the new number one with victory in Miami

The only 20-year-old Pole celebrated a smooth 6: 4, 6: 0 win in the final of the WTA 1000 event in Miami over four-time major winner Naomi Osaka. It was her third consecutive 1000 title after Doha and Indian Wells and her 17th win in a row.

As of today, the native of Warsaw sits on the tennis throne for the first time, almost 1700 points ahead of the Czech Barbora Krejcikova. “I’m really proud of myself,” said Swiatek, who was also only the fourth player to win the “Sunshine Double”. These are the Masters events in Indian Wells and Miami back-to-back. “I have to celebrate now because I don’t know how long I can keep this streak going.” Swiatek’s father Tomasz was a rower at the Olympic Games in Seoul in 1988.
